EDITORS COMMENTS
"This evocative photograph captures the focused intensity of a carpet maker as he meticulously stitches the hem of a heavy coir striped carpet on the cobblestones outside his workshop in Jaipur, Rajasthan, India, in 1984. The man, dressed in a simple white dhoti and a colorful turban, is fully engrossed in his work, oblivious to the hustle and bustle of the bustling street behind him. The intricate design of the carpet, with its alternating stripes of dark and light coir, is a testament to the skill and artistry of the craftsman. The rough texture of the carpet contrasts sharply with the smooth, even stitches of the hem, a detail that speaks to the dedication and precision of the maker. The image transports us back to the 1980s, a time when traditional crafts like carpet making continued to thrive in the vibrant streets of Jaipur. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich cultural heritage of India and the enduring allure of handmade crafts."
