Teacher Labels Clay Biology Models in Nyala Hall

Soft, even daylight fills the lecture hall in Nyala during the late morning wet season. A teacher stands before rows of empty desks, focusing on a set of rough, terracotta-colored clay models arranged on a wooden table. The models, shaped like anatomical structures, sit beside small paper labels the teacher is securing with tape. Dust motes float in the light beams that cut across the room, catching on the smooth, curved surfaces of the clay and the glossy finish of the desk. The shallow depth of field blurs the back rows of chairs, keeping attention on the hands working with the models. Soft reflections shimmer on the polished wood near the teacher's elbow, highlighting the texture of the clay against the clean, pale walls.
