Abstract

MAK walks past strands of white Shu fabric elegantly draped over intertwined branches, ensuring the traditional wool is properly positioned to dry under the sun. His weathered hands and attire speak of years dedicated to preserving this age-old craft. The soft fabric flows gently in the breeze, harmonizing with the natural surroundings of dry grasses, stone walls, and rugged terrain.
