Pruning Geraniums in Milan
A narrow Milanese alleyway opens onto a sun-drenched courtyard where winter light cuts sharp geometric shadows across damp stone paving. An elderly woman in a heavy wool coat leans over a wrought-iron railing, pruning a cluster of dormant geraniums in terracotta pots, her shears catching the bright noon glare. Below, a weathered wooden hanger rests against a peeling yellow doorframe, its grain scuffed by years of use, while a folded metal chair sits propped against the wall, its paint chipped to reveal grey primer. A quiet domestic rhythm, with the rough texture of the ancient brick contrasting against the smooth, cold metal of the gardening tools and the vibrant, albeit dormant, green of the plant leaves.
