Alien market (daily challenge)

The market stretches beneath ancient spires, bathed in a haze that blurs the boundary between the familiar and the unknown. Stalls overflow with mysterious objects,some timeless, others impossibly futuristic,inviting the eye to question every origin. Among the crowd, figures move with a confidence born of other worlds; some bare-chested, marked by stories etched in ink and gaze, others blending seamlessly into the city’s tapestry. There is a charge in the air, an unspoken agreement that here, every encounter is a potential story. The architecture, both grand and alien, forms a backdrop that heightens the sense of dislocation and possibility. Sunlight catches on metal, on pottery, on bare skin, turning each passerby into both merchant and myth. The work pulses with the energy of exchange: not just of objects, but of ideas, cultures, glances.
