A black-and-white photograph captures a dim room beneath exposed rafters. In the foreground, a wooden table holds an ashtray, an open magazine, and books cast in deep shadows. To the left, shelves are packed haphazardly with spines. An open cardboard box sits in a pool of light. Specks of white dust and grainy textures punctuate the dark wood and the harsh, high-contrast lighting from above.
