Knitting the threads of her life

Lefkara is an old village in Cyprus, known for its lace broderie and silver confectionary. Here, we can see a woman sitting at the entrance of a church while knitting and working on her new creation.

 

Like all villages, Lefkara is suffering from urban exodus as the newer generation flees towards the cities in search of higher paying jobs. The talent to make those creations is thus becoming more and more rare.
