Coffee Bean Resting in the Terraced Plantation

A single huge coffee bean, its surface in coral, cream, teal and purple with cracks and white dots, rests in a woven basket. Tiny workers carry baskets of red cherries along its ridge, sort beans at a mat, scoop from the purple split, and pick from a small coffee tree on top. Yellow trumpet flowers and blue blooms grow on its crown. A blue-and-red hulling machine stands at its foot, with a worker feeding it. Around the basket, checkerboard paths and water channels lead past drying beds full of red cherries, stone steps, and terraces curving in bands of red, green, gold and purple. The curved terrace bands and the water channels guide the eye toward each piece's place.
