Harpist Plucking Arpeggios on Cafe Table

Rainy season predawn darkness fills a Malacca cafe, where a miniature harp rests on a wooden table near a window. Warm string lights cast a soft glow on the polished wood and the player's focused hands. Muted reflections of the lights stretch across the damp floor, mirroring the quiet discipline of the performance. The harp's slender strings vibrate under plucked fingers, showing controlled motion in the stillness. Outside the window, the darkness hints at the approaching morning. One reflection of a string lights hangs low on the wet floorboards.
