On Tuesday, Sabya took to Instagram and uploaded a series of stunning images of himself, accompanied by the caption, "As the galloping horde of mechanisation, modernisation and uniformity marches ever closer, it is craft, that embodiment of human touch, tradition and diversity, that will protect culture from the passage of time."
