Conversations with the islanders underscore the significance of preserving age-old traditions, ensuring that the vibrant tapestry of Maldivian culture endures for generations to come. Through her lens, the Maldives emerges not as a mere postcard paradise but as a dynamic crucible of history, tradition, and resilience.
