Coexist - Amid rising tensions, one man listens to his island’s heart

As conflict looms over the island of Hormuz, one man lives differently—shaping bread with his hands, guided not by sight but by touch, sound, and memory.

For him, the island is not defined by politics, but by the heartbeat of its land and sea. His story is a quiet act of resistance: choosing culture and coexistence over fear.
