Fish Swim Over Returns Table at Dawn

Soft tungsten light washes over a cluttered returns processing table in a Bucharest sorting facility. Opened cardboard cartons and scattered barcode slips pile across the gray surface. A school of tropical fish swims through the air at head height, their scales reflecting the overhead lamps. The fish glide horizontally above the cardboard, their movements frozen in the stillness before dawn. Clean surfaces contrast with the chaotic stack of packages. The sorting belt stretches into the background, its metal edges catching the warm glow. Shadows fall sharply beneath the floating fish, anchoring them to the workspace. The scene balances the mundane logistics of the turn of seasons with the impossible presence of the aquatic life moving through the dry air.
