Grooming Score Tray in Rio Bay

Bright utility light floods a stainless steel tray holding acrylic compartments and soft fleece pads. Laminated cards with printed scores rest beside handled plastic bottles, their labels clear under the glow. Shadows stretch quietly along the tiled walls of the grooming bay in Centro, Rio de Janeiro. Monsoon rain blurs the window behind sheer curtains, softening the late-afternoon sun that spills across the workspace. The surfaces gleam with a mix of wet plastic and dry fabric, creating a tactile contrast of smooth curves and fuzzy textures. One red marker lies near the edge of the tray, its cap off, resting against a white score sheet.
