About this work

This wooden cabinet sits in a dim room, its doors slightly open to reveal shelves inside. The left door has faded red paint—what looks like a ghostly flower design peeking through. On the shelves, you can see plates stacked neatly, a coffee grinder, a brass teapot, and a few eggs in a bowl. A small candle on top of the cabinet gives off a soft glow. The paint on the door is worn, almost like it’s been there for a long time. The scene feels quiet and everyday, like a snapshot of life in a home long ago. If you like this cozy corner, check out the Museum of Ethnography to see more pieces like this.
