What the creator captured
Davud Akhundzada was deeply moved by the hospitality and lack of pushiness in the Kurdish market, where he met an 85-year-old tailor who had worked in the same shop for over five decades. To honor the man's life and work, Davud paid 85,000 dinars for a scarf to match the gentleman's age before successfully finding and wearing a full set of traditional Kurdish clothing. He noted the comfort of the attire and appreciated how the community's trust-based culture allows for a free and relaxed shopping experience.
