Hands at Work: Stitches of Childhood from Afghanistan

Ahmad Shah Karimi / English / 0 / 0 Pages

A collection of sensory moments from a boy's early life. Clay is molded into birds, dolls take center stage in make-believe weddings, and apples change places beneath the moonlight. Ahmad Shah works in a roadside repair shop, dreaming of a motorcycle, and sells poplar trees to make a trip to Kabul possible. His days unfold in a rural region of central Afghanistan, where work and play are intertwined, and small acts of creation, observation, and waiting fill the time.
