Potbelly Stove on Dusty Library Table in Haikou

Bright afternoon light floods the room, bouncing softly off pale walls to illuminate a small studio space. A black potbelly stove sits centered on a weathered wooden table covered in a fine layer of gray dust. The stove's surface shows signs of heat and age, against the clean, uncluttered shelves visible in the background. The table's wood grain is worn smooth in places, revealing the history of use beneath the grime. Narrow shadows stretch across the floorboards, marking the position of the sun high in the sky. One crack runs along the edge of the tabletop, filled with accumulated dirt. The light catches the rough texture of the dust motes hovering near the stove's base.
