Wall Saw Blade Segment Tin on Gambian Scaffold
by Ellie Cortes
Hard open daylight strikes the rough timber planks of a scaffolded facade in Gambia, illuminating dust motes suspended in the air. A tin container holding a segmented wall saw blade rests on a weathered beam, its metallic teeth reflecting the bright sun against the monsoon season's humid backdrop. Red rebar protrudes from the unfinished masonry, creating a grid of industrial lines that converge toward a vanishing point along the building's edge. The metal surface of the tin shows signs of wear, against the fresh, raw texture of the concrete and the aged grain of the wood. The scene is defined by the sharp geometric arrangement of construction materials under a clear sky, with the vibrant green of distant foliage visible at the periphery. One rust stain marks the corner of the tin, at the base of the image in the reality of ongoing work.
