In a dingy woodworking shop, two old carpenters, bathed in the warm, harsh glow of the single overhead halogen lamp, are diligently shaping a wooden sculpture. The camera, at a low angle, is focus on their gnarled, dirty hands revealing years of craftsmanship as they scrape off tiny slivers from the wooden figure, a labious process they seem to crave for. The background, a hazy collection of sawdust-filled air and wooden chips, fades into a soft blur, laying emphasis on their laborious task. The darkness around the edges of the frame heightens the intensity of the scene. The static shot emphasizes the absence of hurried movements, bringing out the balance between the two men’s practiced strokes. The workshop filled with timber logs, sawdust, and a multitude of tools is further highlighted by the warm yet industrial color palette giving the whole scene a rustic aura.
