Ankara Stockroom Back Door Winter Returns

Soft, overcast daylight falls through a high window into a utilitarian stockroom in Ankara, illuminating stacks of cardboard returns bins near the heavy steel back door. The flaps of the bins sit open, revealing folded textiles inside. Two metal hand trucks rest idle beside the stacks, their wheels pressing into the dusty gray concrete floor. Through the open doorway, the blurred shapes of the sales floor appear, with indistinct figures moving among shelves. Warm interior shadows stretch across the ground, against the cool, muted tones of the winter light entering from above. One rust spot marks the lower corner of the steel door frame, where the paint has worn away.
