Neon Sign Decay Above Ranchi Metro Exit

Wet pavement reflects the fractured glow of a neon sign mounted above a metro entrance in Ranchi. The sign displays broken lettering, with gaps revealing the dark sky behind. Late afternoon light bounces off shopfront glass, creating silver streaks across the damp concrete. Dry season dust coats the lower edges of the metal frame, against the slick, rain-slicked ground. A Dutch angle tilt emphasizes the verticality of the structure against the slanted horizon. Reflections of red and blue light dance on the puddles below. at the edge is one drop of water sliding down the cracked neon casing, leaving a dark trail on the white enamel.
