Vinyl Spinning in Ouagadougou Bedroom

Soft, diffused light from an overcast monsoon afternoon fills a bedroom in Ouagadougou, casting gentle shadows across wooden furniture. A record player sits on a low table, its platter rotating slowly while a vinyl disc spins beneath the tonearm. Several beeswax candles stand in simple clay holders, their flames flickering slightly despite the daylight, creating pools of warm amber against the cool gray tones of the room. The walls show a textured, earthy finish typical of local construction, and a woven mat lies on the floor. In the background, a window frame reveals a glimpse of green foliage blurred by rain, while the foreground remains softly out of focus, drawing attention to the mechanical movement of the turntable. A small brass tray rests on the table edge, reflecting the candlelight.
