Cheese Stuffed Colombian Arepas on Rustic Table

Golden-brown arepas rest on a weathered wooden tray, their surfaces cracked to reveal melted white cheese stretching between halves. Warm string lights hang just above, casting soft pools of yellow illumination across the rustic grain of the table. Fine dust particles float in the shafts of light, catching the glow against the darkening indoor background. The city lights begin to shimmer through a window in the distance, against the intimate indoor warmth. Crumbs scatter near the edge of the tray, and the melted cheese glistens with a moist sheen under the overhead bulbs. One arepa sits slightly apart from the rest, showing its flaky texture.
