Cedar Bench Locker Room Jimma Banquet Hall

Warm amber cedar benches line the wall of a quiet locker room inside a Jimma banquet hall, their grain polished smooth by use. North-window sidelight cuts across the space, illuminating dust motes and casting soft shadows between the wooden slats. Condensation beads along the edge of a nearby glass partition, glistening under the diffuse midday glow. The turn of seasons brings a specific clarity to the air, visible in the moisture on the glass and the dry texture of the wood. Metal hooks hang empty against the pale wall, waiting for guests. one drop of water traces a slow path down the glass, marking the boundary between the cool interior and the humid outside.
