Compound Eye Reflection in Mawlamyine Library

by Elsa O'Neill

Damp green light falls through sheer curtains, falling across wooden shelves in a reading room in Mawlamyine. An extreme close-up reveals the intricate hexagonal facets of a human compound eye, each facet acting as a tiny mirror. Within the dark, glossy surface, the faint, distorted reflection of the photographer stands out against the deep brown of the iris. Rain streaks blur the window in the background, softening the view of the library's high ceiling. Moisture on the glass creates a hazy boundary between the interior solitude and the storm outside. A drop of condensation rests on the lower rim of the eye, catching the dim afternoon glow.
