A birch broom takes shape one tight binding at a time. The maker balances its pale wooden handle across her knees and draws the two cord ends around a dense bundle of fine twigs. Her floral blouse, rust apron and long dark skirt sit naturally among the shelter's simple tools and materials.

Finished brooms lean against a timber support, their uneven twig ends repeating the texture of the surrounding woodland. Loose handles and a woven basket fill the foreground while sunlight filters through leaves overhead. The scene stays close enough to follow her hands, yet leaves room for the working space and the patient rhythm of making something useful.
