Description

Across a horizon of spectral opposites, finger waved dunes in hues of saffron sit against an expanse of turquoise sky. An oasis lies amidst the scorching sands, its very existence a realm of contradictions. Within a retreat built from earth and mud stands an ornate silver pot surrounded by coloured glasses. Through a window of iron filigree, the unexpected centrepieces catch the final rays of a dying sun. Strength and fragility intertwine as the room fills with the scent of sweet mint and astringent tea. Heat emanates from the baked walls – a testament to the relentless embrace of the sun. Verdant fresh mint will breathe life and vitality into the drinker, despite the piping hot brew. As a crescent moon rises, the tea cascades from a spectacular height. In a ceremony where the boundaries between imperial silk hemlines and dirt floors are blurred, a cup of contrasts fulfils a legacy of harmonious dualities.
