Below, on a worn wooden work stool left outside, sits a cluster of dented aluminum storage tins, their labels faded by salt air, alongside a single paintbrush with dried blue pigment on its bristles. The verticality of the city, with glimpses of corrugated iron roofs and distant blue ocean horizon, showing the practical, improvisational nature of daily life in these steep hillside neighborhoods.
