Woman from Leh, Ladakh, India.

We saw her on our way to Tso Moriri, near village Himya.

She was basking in the sun, readying for the harsh winters of Ladakh, creating beautiful patterns on a shawl she was weaving on a traditional wooden loom. Threads in reds, greens and yellow were getting interwoven at a dizzyingly fast pace. We wanted to ask her about her design process, but realised she would think we were fools asking such questions.

For, these skills, passed down generations are their inherent gifts!
