MHW Operating the Loom Pedals during weaving Shu in his village in Ghufti
Abstract
The image captures a close-up of MHW's feet as he operates the wooden pedals of a traditional loom. His movements control the tension and alignment of the threads during the weaving process. The worn wooden floor, scattered with fibers and tools, reflects the rustic environment of the workshop. This intimate detail showcases the interconnectedness of skill and environment in heritage weaving.
