“Deep within the Khewra Salt Mines, a labyrinth of pink, orange, and white tunnels unfolds. A young miner (23) walks, his headlamp illuminating the shimmering crystals. Reaching a cavern with a natural salt dome, he kneels on a simple salt-carved rug. Miners working nearby pause, their faces reflecting the hardship and camaraderie of their lives. He offers a silent prayer, his words echoing in the cavern, a plea for their safety in the heart of the earth. An older miner, his beard dusted with salt, offers a nod of solidarity, a silent prayer shared in the harsh beauty of the mine.”
