Cobbler's Lasts in Aden Studio Wet Season Light

Warm copper-toned light spills across a worn beechwood workbench, highlighting the smooth, worn curves of a pair of cobbler's lasts. Condensation beads along the edge of a nearby glass pane, signaling the humid wet season air of the Aden studio. The wood grain shows deep scratches and years of handling, against the slick, wet surface of the glass. Sunlight reflects in soft, liquid pools on the bench and the metal tools resting beside the lasts. The over-the-shoulder view reveals the texture of a worker's sleeve and the rough, salt-tinged openness of the room. one drop of water slides slowly down the glass, catching the dying light.
