The scene is an Africandi living space. A woman reclines on a curved sofa, unhurried, on her varanda. Behind her, a breezeblock screen filters the garden beyond its geometric pattern carrying centuries of African architectural intelligence. Light moves through those perforations the way it was always meant to. Not blocked. Not controlled. Welcomed in.
Everything in this space breathes.
