Highlighters and Rulers in Seminar Carrel

A clear plastic cup overflows with neon yellow, pink, and green highlighters alongside white plastic rulers, sitting at the center of a light oak seminar table. Sunlight streams through a high skylight, casting soft shadows across scattered papers covered in dense handwriting. The midsummer air hangs heavy, visible as a slight haze in the beams of light that illuminate dust particles settling on the wet table surface. Wooden chairs frame the space, their backs aligned in a rhythmic pattern that guides the gaze toward the cup. Condensation beads form on the side of a nearby water bottle, mirroring the humid conditions outside. at the edge is a single green highlighter cap resting loosely on a stack of notes.
