Yerba Mate Gourd and Bombilla on Pyongyang Market Stall

by Harley Ortega

Soft neon light washes over a dried gourd filled with dark green yerba mate, resting on a smooth wooden counter. The silver bombilla leans against the rim, its curved tip catching the glow of overhead signs. Late spring air does not reach this indoor space, but the cool, artificial illumination suggests the twilight hour outside. The gourd's rough, fibrous texture contrasts with the polished metal of the straw. Shadows stretch gently across the wood grain, while the surrounding negative space emphasizes the stillness of the setup. A faint reflection of the neon tubes dances on the wet rim of the gourd, marking the boundary between the object and the dark counter.
