Candles and Pumpkins Display in Lagos Retail

Warm amber light pools across a symmetrical retail table laden with wax candles and ceramic pumpkins. The glossy surfaces of the orange gourds reflect the overhead fixtures, creating soft highlights against the matte textures of the wax. Behind the display, a bright window shows the wet season sky, where grey clouds gather over the Lagos street outside. Rain streaks blur the glass, against the sharp, organized arrangement of the merchandise inside. Deep shadows fall between the rows of items, at the base of the objects in the warm interior atmosphere. One ceramic pumpkin rests near the front edge, its glazed rim catching the last of the daylight.
