Bouboulo

Round sconces glow on earthen walls, and pools of warm light pull a long table out of a quiet, dark room.

Light goes where the room is lived in: along the long table, around the faces gathered at it, onto walls where round sconces sit like small suns in the plaster.

Everything else is allowed to rest. Plaster, timber and fabric stay in soft shadow, and that quiet is what lets each lit detail register.
