Cafe Counter in Medellin
by Megan Wyatt
A weathered wooden counter in a bustling El Poblado cafe displays a chaotic still life of daily commerce, where a cluster of dark blueberries spills from a torn paper bag onto the scarred surface. A glass vase holding wilting yellow flowers sits near a bottle brush used for cleaning narrow-necked containers, their bristles stained with dried residue. Behind this arrangement, a heavy brass doorknob glints in the harsh afternoon sun, anchoring the scene against a backdrop of peeling white plaster walls. The light is bright and unforgiving, casting sharp shadows that highlight the texture of the wood grain and the glossy skin of the fruit, creating a tangible sense of immediate, uncurated local life.
