Horn of Labor: A Salt Farmer in Khurushkul

In the serene village of Khurushkul under Cox’s Bazar sadar upazila, a dedicated salt farmer stands resilient, preparing his land for the upcoming season. The photograph captures a moment of aesthetic brilliance as the windmill blades in the background align perfectly with the farmer’s head, creating an illusion of horns. This visual metaphor beautifully symbolizes his strength and perseverance. His eyes sparkle with hope, reflecting his determination to secure a higher profit from early harvests, embracing both the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
