Pet Prosthetic Fitting Drawer Sunset Kinshasa

Honey-colored light spills from a high window, illuminating a metal drawer pulled open inside a grooming bay in Kinshasa. The shallow depth of field blurs the dark back room, focusing attention on the polished aluminum surface of the drawer. Inside, a custom pet prosthetic rests on a dark foam lining, its smooth plastic joints catching small, sharp highlights from the fading sunset. A wooden comb lies beside the device, its teeth aligned with the metal edge. The turn of seasons is visible in the dust motes suspended in the narrow beam of light and the worn texture of the drawer handle. One reflection of the window frame glimmers on the curved plastic of the prosthetic leg.
