Chalk Labeled Woodshop Cabinet in Athens Library Night

Harsh fluorescent tubes cast a cold, even glow across a compact woodshop saw blade cabinet resting against a wall inside a Psirri library reading room. The unit holds rows of small drawers, each front face marked with handwritten Greek chalk labels. Clean, uncluttered surfaces reflect the overhead light directly, against the deep darkness of the monsoon night visible through the window behind. Dust settles on the polished wood grain rather than dancing in the air. An over-the-shoulder perspective places a blurred shoulder in the foreground, directing attention to the metal handles and the texture of the chalk marks. A sharp reflection of the window frame appears on the steel edge of the bottom drawer.
