Shot through a window pane with raindrops and faint reflections on the glass of an amateur's makeshift display of a robot emoji character, created using a white plastic colander, LED light bulbs for eyes, and a strip of glowing tape for a mouth, balanced precariously on a stack of old textbooks on a desk. A tangled mess of wires connects the LED eyes to a 9V battery, and a 'Home Project' label is taped to the side of the colander. Pencil shavings and eraser crumbs are scattered on the desk surface. The 35mm lens is at a conversational distance, placing the main figure on a strong diagonal from one corner to the opposite one. Light from a few candles provides a warm flicker on the nearest surfaces and darkness behind. Shot on a 35mm prime lens, capturing the texture of the raindrops and the glow of the LEDs with a slight vignette.
