On a folded cloth
A pale lidded cup rests on embroidered cloth against a dark tabletop. Black-and-white photography by Lu Heng.
A bright line runs around the lid. Below it, the rounded cup rests on folded cloth, with a small embroidered motif beside its base.
The smooth surface of the cup and the weave of the cloth remain clear while the room recedes into blur. In black and white, these differences in texture are enough to hold the eye.
