Derelict Printing Works Malawi Dry Season

by Alice McCoy

Dried black ink coats the rusted rollers of an abandoned printing press, standing motionless under a heavy gray sky. The cool stillness of early morning settles over the Malawian site, where the first faint rays of sunrise barely pierce the overcast layers. Dust hangs in the air, settling on the flaking paint of the machine's metal casing. The shallow depth of field blurs the background, focusing attention on the texture of the corroded gears and the brittle, cracked ink residue. Beside the machinery, dry, brittle grasses push through cracks in the concrete floor, their pale yellow stems against the dark, oil-stained metal. One shadow stretches across the floor, marking the precise angle of the emerging light.
