Hands at Work brings together two portraits of quiet devotion: a tailor measuring fabric and a mechanic tending to an engine. Their gestures—cutting, adjusting, repairing—speak a language older than words, where labor becomes identity and craft becomes care. In the hum of commerce and the silence of machines, persistence is revealed not in poses but in practice. Each frame honors the dignity of hands that shape, mend, and sustain the everyday.
