Transparent Bowl Among Cut Flowers Bamako Market

by Angelo Tate

First sunrise rays hit wet concrete beside a worn textile blanket covered in cut red and yellow flowers. A large ceramic bowl rests on the fabric, yet its entire form is transparent like glass while retaining a deep terracotta tint. The invisible vessel reveals the rough weave of the blanket beneath it without distorting the colors. Stacks of patterned cotton cloth rise in soft mounds against the wall, their geometric prints sharp in the humid morning light. Water beads roll slowly down the smooth, invisible surface of the bowl, merging with the damp floor at the edge. The impossible clarity of the ceramic object stands out against the organic chaos of the cut stems and the heavy, saturated colors of the textiles.
