Tailor Basting Trousers in Al Qadarif Atelier

Honey-colored light streams through a rain-marked pane, illuminating a tailor working beside a mirror lined with glowing makeup bulbs in Al Qadarif. The dry season air leaves the dust settled on the floor as precise white threads trace the creases of dark fabric. Copper-toned shadows stretch along the walls, deepening where the window light fails to reach. Foreground bokeh softens the edge of a wooden table holding scissors and pins. The tailor's hands move with steady intent against the rough texture of the trousers, aligning the seams with exacting care. one drop of rain rests on the glass, distorting the copper reflection of the room beyond.
