Porto Dispatch Office Horizontal Tree Dry Ice

Flat refrigerated light from the dock below washes over a stainless steel dry-ice scoop station in a dispatch office. Foam inserts sit in plastic containers, while clipboards rest against frost-covered walls. Shrink wrap reflects the harsh overhead glow on the concrete floor. A thick layer of freezer frost coats the metal fittings. Through the condensation on the nearby glass, a fully leafed green tree grows horizontally out of the office wall, its branches extending straight across the room like a rigid beam. The leaves are vibrant against the industrial gray, rooted deep in the plaster as if the building itself is sprouting. The scene ends with the tree's tip brushing against a hanging clipboard.
