Attendance Sheet on Podium Before Evening Class

Warm yellow light spills from a library lamp onto a white attendance sheet clipped to a wooden podium. The paper rests against the dark grain of the wood, positioned outside a red brick lecture building in Şanlıurfa. Heavy overcast skies cast a flat, gray light across the scene, against the artificial glow. Faint window light bleeds through glass panes in the background, fading as evening approaches. Early summer air holds no movement, leaving the paper still. The metal clip secures the page firmly. A shadow falls across the bottom corner of the sheet where the wood meets the ground.
