Woven Basket in Valparaiso

by Donovan Parsons

A steep, tiled staircase in Valparaíso descends past walls painted in faded ochre and peeling cerulean, where a local woman in a vibrant, patterned skirt pauses to adjust a woven basket resting on a rusted metal railing. The overcast light flattens the shadows, revealing the texture of damp concrete and the rough weave of the basket’s straw. Above her, a wooden hanger hangs from a window latch, swaying slightly in the coastal breeze, while a pair of worn slippers sits abandoned on a nearby step. The verticality of the hillside neighborhood, with the bright colors of her clothing contrasting against the weathered, salt-stained plaster of the surrounding buildings.
