Earthen Stove

 Capturing Timeless Stories Through the Lens

From a photographer’s point of view

This simple stove is not just a structure made of earth and ash. When I looked at it through my camera lens, I could see countless stories of the village and the depth of its culture.

This stove reminds me of a time when people lived together in harmony, when cooking was not just about making food but also a way of connecting with family and neighbors.

As I captured this image, I realized how each crack, each mark, and each bit of ash bears witness to a bygone era—a time when people would sit around this earthen stove, sharing laughter, jokes, and their joys and sorrows. For me, this stove is a piece of cultural heritage, keeping alive those moments that may have been forgotten in today’s fast-paced life.

As a photographer, my aim is to bring those forgotten moments to life through this image, so that anyone who sees it can feel the beauty and simplicity of that era. When people look at this picture, I hope they, too,feel a connection to a time when life moved slowly yet was filled with warmth and togetherness.
