Day 100: Culinary Canvas of Kabul

Kabul, a city with a past rich in history, revealed its layers at the Kabul Museum on this day. The museum displayed Afghanistan’s tumultuous history as its custodian under the clear and cool skies. Every ancient sculpture and historical relic on exhibit appeared to hold a story, a piece of the past waiting to be told.

As I roamed the halls, I felt the heaviness of history.

The museum's collection, even though it suffered from years of conflict, still possessed a strong beauty. The skillful craftsmanship of the pieces, whether they were from past centuries or recent times, revealed a profoundly rich and complex culture.

As I captured these moments in my sketchbook, I felt a deep connection to the tales behind these objects. Each sketch was like a conversation between the present and the past, linking eras together like a bridge. The trip was an in-depth exploration of the essence of Afghanistan; going beyond media coverage and its tumultuous recent past.

As I left the museum, the brisk air of present-day Kabul brought me back to reality. Nonetheless, the stories and pictures from inside the walls stayed with me, reminding me of the country's resilience and beauty in the face of adversity.

The experience was more than just art or history, it was about gaining an understanding of a nation's heart, its struggles, and its unwavering spirit.
