A camera focuses on a dimly lit pottery studio. The room is cast in deep blues and browns, with moving shadows dancing on the worn-out hardwood floor. A potter is in focus as she works at the center of this haven. Hard,cracked hands shape moist clay on spinning wheel. Close-up shots reveal the process of maceration, the mixing of water with earth to make it malleable. Natural light filters through a dusty window casting a warm glow on the potter’s face. We see her eyes focused and intent; they are the only source of vibrant color in this neutral palette. The workshop is filled with finished and unfinished pieces, cluttering the background and adding depth to the shot. The camera subtly pans around the space, capturing the immersive world of the potter. All elements in the frame lean towards her, creating a subtly perfect balance of composition.
