A worker giving a fresh coat of paint to a large metal panel at a workshop in Jabbarkhet. Standing beside the structure, he uses a brush to spread the orange coating evenly across the surface. The work is carried out in the open, with the focus on covering the metal carefully and reaching every corner. Such painting is often done to protect metal from rust and wear, especially in outdoor conditions. The clip captures a routine part of workshop life, where preparation and finishing work are done by hand. It offers a simple look at the skilled labour that goes into maintaining and preparing metal structures.
