Field Observations

The image captures a small, open-front furniture workshop located on the edge of a paved road. The building itself is a simple structure with weathered concrete walls and a corrugated tin roof. Inside the workshop, several large wooden furniture items, including wardrobes and cabinets, are visible. A man is seated on a plastic chair outside the shop, while two other individuals are examining a finished wooden cabinet, suggesting a potential sales interaction. The surrounding environment includes trees and other foliage, along with a pile of refuse nearby.
