THE HARMONIOUS TURBULENCE Live electrical wires boldly intertwining with colorful fairy lights, tattered kites, and hoardings creeping across the horizon – casting shadows on the world that breathes beneath. Donkey-carts, motorcycles, trucks, cars, and pedestrians alike battle for their right to passage over the narrow alleyways of the Walled City, cursing and beeping, while commercial activity flurries. Shop owners and street vendors alike holler, advertising their goods, striving to attract customers. The aroma of freshly prepared food wafts into the air, as people sitting under the embrace of a tree devour it.
