Jungle Overgrowth in Matola Fitting Room

Thick emerald vines burst from the floor, wrapping around the steel frame of a self-checkout attendant's key pouch resting on a laminate counter. The corridor walls, usually plain white, are half-swallowed by rapid plant growth in this early winter scene. Soft overcast light falls through the impossible foliage, illuminating fine paper dust floating in the air. Sanitizer residue glints on the metal handle of the pouch, against the rough, wet texture of the vines. The greenery climbs the wall in a single season, defying the indoor setting. A shadow from a broad leaf falls across the orange safety strip at the base of the door frame.
