Boat Builder Shaping Hull in Abu Dhabi Night

by Linnea Cordova

Cold moonlight spills across the polished wooden hull of a dhow, illuminating the focused posture of a boat builder working deep inside a prayer hall. The vast space is lined with rows of slender columns and intricate geometric plasterwork, contrasting the rough grain of the timber with smooth, cool stone floors. Humid air settles low, causing a faint sheen on the dark wood surfaces and reflecting the pale, silver light. The builder stands near the right third of the frame, his hands pressing a traditional adze against the curved planks. Water droplets rest on the lower edges of the arches, evidence of the recent rain outside. at the edge is a single, sharp glint of the metal tool catching the moonlight against the dark, damp floor.
