Blanket Stacks Air on Hooks at Dog Wash

Soft morning light falls through sheer curtains, casting warm, elongated shadows across the tiled floor of a self-serve dog wash station in Maputo. Stacks of folded fleece and wool blankets hang from metal hooks, their edges catching the gentle glow. Beside them, worn sisal fibers of a vertical scratch post rise against a pale wall. The space holds an empty basin nearby, reflecting the muted colors of the room. Rough textures of the post sit next to the soft weave of the fabrics. Dust settles on the surfaces as the light falls across the scene. A small thread hangs loose from the corner of the top blanket, catching the light.
