· English
Seen in a wall mirror at an angle, the mirror edge cutting the frame diagonally, a small, spherical robot sits next to a stack of graded quizzes, one of which has a red 'A-' written in marker. The quizzes are slightly disorganized, with one page curling up, and a pencil lies diagonally across the top quiz, its tip broken. The robot has a single, unblinking optical sensor that reflects the light source. The view is a macro lens a few centimetres from the surface, creating a razor-thin plane of focus that isolates the robot and the top quiz while blurring the reflection in the mirror behind them. Low golden-hour sun directly behind the scene creates glowing edges and a bright haze, with the lines of the surrounding room converging on the main figure. Shot on a high-end digital medium format camera with a 100mm macro lens, capturing fine sensor noise and a warm, hazy color cast.
