The photographs indicate the art of weaving cloth and basket in Konyak community where every thread intertwines with purpose, creating a tapestry that tells a story of skill and tradition. The loom becomes a canvas, capturing the hands that deftly guide each strand into a harmonious pattern. Much like the careful construction of a woven fabric, the man making the basket in the photograp weaves a visual narrative.
My photography lens captures the delicate details of interlacing reeds or fibres, preserving the artistry of basketry in a frozen moment.
Both crafts share a common thread of meticulous craftsmanship, where each element contributes to the final masterpiece, whether it be a finely woven textile or a captivating photograph. In the hands of skilled artisans and photographers, the mundane transforms into the extraordinary, revealing the beauty inherent in the art of weaving.
