Giant Koi Over Menswear Rail Christchurch

Harsh flash cuts through dappled afternoon light filtering over a menswear rail under a concrete parking roof in Christchurch. Wet pavement reflects the sudden burst of white light while humid air hangs heavy after rain. A massive koi fish floats overhead, its orange scales and flowing fins suspended like a living parade balloon against the gray sky. Suits hang motionless on the rack below, their wool textures sharp under the strobe. Leaves cast shifting shadows across the garments and the wet ground. The fish hovers directly above the center of the frame, its mouth slightly open, casting a faint shadow on the suits below. Water droplets rest on the fabric of a navy blazer, glistening under the artificial illumination.
