Pride, rendered as a scene: a kitchen display shelf lined with perfectly uniform white store-bought ceramic mugs, and right in the center, given its own space, one small lumpy handmade clay mug — uneven rim, a thumbprint pressed into the handle, glaze that dripped and pooled unevenly in a blue-green color. The surrounding mugs have been pushed aside to make room for it. Soft morning light from a window falls directly on the handmade mug. No people. No text, no letters, no logos on any mug.
