Dusty Construction Lobby Staging in Burkina Faso

Granular dust floats in shafts of hard afternoon light that slice through the unfinished lobby space. The floor is covered in protective lift-wrap sheets, their plastic surfaces crinkling underfoot near scattered timber beams and exposed rebar. Glass crates sit stacked against a wall of rough drywall, reflecting the bright outdoor sky. Paper sign mockups lean haphazardly in the corner, their edges soft from handling. Deep, warm shadows pool beneath the structural columns, against the bright, dry atmosphere of the monsoon season. A fine layer of red earth coats the bottom of the glass crates, at the base of the industrial materials in the local soil.
