A close-up of a white marble surface inset with a band of green glass mosaic tiles and bordered by veined stone dotted with opalescent cabochons. At center, a hammered copper, eye-shaped oil well burns with a small flame, connected by a twisted yellow wick to a hammered copper spoon that holds a drop of oil. Sunlight casts crisp shadows against the pale stone, emphasizing the warm copper tones and the surreal, symbolic arrangement of everyday kitchen elements.
