rural locationdusty surfacesunwashed bowls
the location felt rural and provided a bit of quiet.
the room had considerable dust on the bedside light switches and atop the mirror, i found this unsanitary. i also had to wash the breakfast bowls because remnants of previous use remained, i was frustrated by the lack of cleanliness. this made me question the overall hygiene of the space.
