Tailor at Sewing Machine in Niamey Doorway

by Lindsay Santiago

Chalk dust settles on a rough wooden table beside heavy shears in a Niamey workshop. A tailor sits at a sewing machine positioned in a doorway, fingers guiding fabric under the needle. North-window light streams in sideways, illuminating the texture of the cloth and the dust motes hanging in the air. Cool season air leaves the walls bare and shadowed, creating quiet dark zones along the edges of the room. The tailor's hands move with precision, the metal of the machine gleaming against the worn wood. A stray piece of white chalk rests near the edge of the table, marking a line on the dark surface.
