Ground-level view skimming the dusty surface of a deep velvet-lined display case, the near glass sharp and rising into the frame to reveal a single intricately carved wooden mask with a cracked finish and a small brass key resting on the shelf below it. The mask sits centered in the dark red velvet interior, its wood grain visible through the fissures in the lacquer, while the brass key lies flat on the glass shelf, catching a glint of light. A faded paper price tag reading 'Sold' hangs from the top of the glass door, slightly crumpled and yellowed, and a layer of fine gray dust coats the top exterior of the case. The reflection of a bare lightbulb shimmers in the dark glass front, distorted by the curvature of the pane. Shot on a 50mm lens at arm's length, the composition uses the converging lines of the case frame to draw the eye toward the mask. Sunlight streams through coloured glass nearby, throwing distinct patches of red, blue, and amber across the dust particles and the velvet lining. Shot on medium format film with shallow depth of field, fine grain, and a warm, nostalgic color cast.
