Fluorescent Tubes Reflect on School Trophy Case Glass

Bright white lines from overhead fluorescent tubes stretch across the dark glass of a school trophy case inside a Barbacena laboratory. The reflection fractures into long, sharp streaks against the deep blue of the night sky visible through a window behind. Inside the cabinet, silver and gold awards sit motionless on wooden shelves, their surfaces catching the sterile glow. Muted streaks of light slide along the polished floor, creating a cool, rhythmic pattern that mirrors the ceiling fixtures. The glass front shows no fingerprints, only the stark geometry of the lighting. A faint orange glow from a distant exit sign bleeds into the corner of the reflection, against the dominant cool white. The trophies rest silently under the tubes.
