Broom Maker Binding Sorghum in Jizzakh Library

by Desiree Murillo

Honey-colored light from a western window floods the reading room in Jizzakh, illuminating a craftsman seated at a heavy wooden table. His weather-beaten hands wrap thick sorghum bristles around a rough wooden handle, the fibers catching the low sun with a golden sheen. Behind him, rows of leather-bound books line dark shelves, their spines muted against the warm glow. Early spring softens the edges of the room, while dust motes hang suspended in the shafts of light. The polished floor reflects the window frame and the maker's silhouette, creating a quiet contrast between the rustic tool and the scholarly setting. One knot in the wood grain marks the handle's origin.
