Original artwork description:

On a bright morning, on a holiday yesterday I decided to go shopping to a busy traditional market in the village where my parents live. Since I was little, I have always liked life in traditional markets, I always accompany my mother when I go to the market in my hometown.
As someone who usually lives in the village I can feel the simple happiness of the sellers and buyers in the market. When I entered the market, I was greeted with various fresh aromas from various types of vegetables, fruits, spices, and others. Step by step I saw the traders enthusiastically offering their wares.
With a cheerful smile, I started walking along every dirt road in the market and noticed various kinds of very tempting merchandise.
At the corner of the market, I stopped in front of a grocery store and chose some crackers, there were shrimp crackers, fish crackers, and sweet potato crackers which were my mother's orders to take home to her hometown.
I also bought spices from a spice seller who had various kinds of spices with the best quality and bought fresh vegetables from local farmers who offered their crops.
In every transaction I make, I realize that my small role as a buyer has a bigger impact. With every purchase I make, I not only support local merchants.
After I finish shopping, I go home with pockets full of fresh and quality goods. Although I am only a small buyer at a traditional market, I feel satisfied and proud because I have contributed to supporting the local economy and helping traders to survive and support their families.

I believe that with every small step we take, we can help drive the economic growth of our country, one traditional market transaction at a time. I am very grateful to be a part of this journey, supporting local merchants, and participating in building a better life for everyone.
