Art · Full story
You step into a kitchen that gleams with purpose. White enamel surfaces catch the light. Everything has its place: the stove sits flush against the wall, the sink runs water hot and cold, cabinets line up in rows. A woman stands at the counter, no longer bent over a coal stove or hauling water—this kitchen comes to her.
