Close-up of a weaver's two hands knotting a Persian carpet on a tall upright wooden loom in a Kashan workshop: the white warp threads run straight down from top to bottom and the finished carpet rises from the bottom of the frame, its fine dense knots forming a medallion pattern. Her left hand wraps a strand of madder-red wool around two warp threads and pulls the knot tight; her right hand cuts it with a small hooked knife and then beats the row down with a heavy metal comb. Only her own two hands are in the frame. The camera moves in slowly from the loom to the hands. Soft window light, warm wool textures, shallow depth of field, 85mm macro look, quiet rhythmic pace, vertical framing.
