Restoring Heritage
This traditional entry gate, over 50 years old and entirely crafted from wood, stands at the heart of my village home. My grandfather commissioned it in honor of my great-grandfather, a freedom fighter, as a tribute to his legacy. Three craftsmen spent two continuous years bringing this gate to life, with each carving telling its own story, a testament to both heritage and craftsmanship.
For years, however, it fell into neglect. After my grandfather’s passing, no one tended to it, and the gate’s condition heavily deteriorated. Then one day, my mother mentioned it to me, stirring something within. I felt a deep urge to restore it, to breathe new life into this masterpiece. The idea thrilled me because it was not just as a chance to use my creativity, but it was a way to reconnect with my roots and honor my family’s legacy.
