About

An overhead compositional view captures an elderly artisan seated on a dark wooden floor, actively weaving a large woven mat from natural fiber strips. Coiled ribbons of fiber swirl across the foreground next to a small clear container holding crafting tools, a pair of small scissors, and a roll of orange tape resting nearby on the mat. The natural lighting highlights the intricate textures of the woven material and the artisan's hands at work. The image was photographed by Daeja Fallas.
