Melting Tapestry on Bedside Table in Tabriz

Flat noon light from a north window floods a quiet room in Tabriz, illuminating a folded blanket shelf on a bedside table. A woven tapestry rests atop the fabric, its rigid threads behaving like heated wax. The intricate patterns soften at the bottom edge, dripping downward in thick, viscous pools that gather on the table surface. Fine lint rests on the melting fibers, showing the transition from woven structure to fluid form. Sharp, hushed shadows stretch along the plain walls, against the warm, saturated colors of the monsoon season visible through the window. One pool of the tapestry's blue dye spreads across the wood grain, marking the exact point where the fabric surrendered its shape.
