Baghdad Office Badge Backdrop in Winter Afternoon Light

Soft overcast daylight flattens across the beige carpet and laminate flooring of an open-plan office bay in Baghdad. A temporary blue tube backdrop stands ready, its fabric taut against the frame. The winter light enters from high windows, casting a cool, even glow that mutes shadows while lamplight begins to pool in the room's corners. No staged props or corporate lifestyle elements clutter the space. The floor shows faint scuff marks near the backdrop's base. One metal leg of the tube rests firmly on the laminate, at the base of the temporary structure in the quiet, deadline-holding atmosphere of the afternoon.
