Neon Reflected Mural Grid Daejeon Forum

Rows of empty chairs stretch toward a vibrant mural on the back wall of a Daejeon community center hall. The mural depicts civic scenes, but the figures and patterns repeat endlessly in a perfect grid, filling the entire background with hundreds of identical iterations. Neon lights cast a warm, reddish glow across the polished floor, creating sharp reflections that mirror the impossible repetition. Deep shadows pool beneath the chair legs, at the base of the surreal expansion in the physical space. The dry season air leaves the dust settled, visible only where the light hits the air. The final row of chairs aligns perfectly with the infinite grid of painted faces.
