In a dimly lit rustic kitchen, a woman wearing a simple apron is vigorously whisking together a slightly acidic dressing, made with fresh verjus. She is framed strictly from the side, capturing her determined face and the flurry of her actions. The depth of field sees stacks of chopped firewood in soft focus by the large stone fireplace in the background, evoking a cozy atmosphere to an otherwise tense scene. The camera angle shifts, capturing from above the wooden table covered with vegetables in rich shades of green, red, and orange. The movement is slow, allowing the viewers to share in her laborious task. Despite the busyness, there’s a peculiar balance between the woman and her quiet, rustic surroundings.
