Salsa Verde Chilaquiles on Rustic Wood

Crispy tortilla chips drown in a vibrant green salsa verde, piled high on a white ceramic plate resting on weathered wood. Noon light falls through sheer curtains, creating soft, flat illumination across the dish while polished table surfaces catch sharp, small highlights. The turn of seasons shows in the muted tones of the room, against the bright, oily sheen of the sauce. Crumbled white cheese and scattered cilantro leaves add texture to the mound of fried corn. The wood grain runs diagonally beneath the plate, at the base of the composition in a Fuzhou interior. One chip rests at the edge, its tip dipped in sauce.
