Bamboo Weaver in Copper Light Ho Chi Minh City

Rich amber sunset light floods a Ho Chi Minh City atelier, illuminating a weaver seated before a low wooden loom. Slender green bamboo strips curve through calloused fingers, catching the warm glow. The room features polished concrete floors and exposed brick walls typical of the district. A large rectangular window dominates the back wall, yet the view beyond it shows the interior of the same room, repeating the weaver and the loom in a perfect, impossible reflection that merges the outside world with the inside space. Shadows stretch long across the floorboards, ending at the base of a stack of finished baskets. The glass pane reflects the copper-toned light, blurring the boundary between the room and its own interior.
