Rainbow Prism Light in Kano Fossil Lab

A triangular glass prism sits on a wooden prep table, catching soft midday light that falls through high windows. A narrow band of spectral color stretches across heavy black curtains hanging in the background. The room walls are painted a pale, dusty white, reflecting the ambient glow into the space. Fossil fragments and tools rest scattered on the table near the prism. The wet season outside casts a diffuse, even illumination across the surfaces, eliminating harsh shadows. Dust motes float in the beam of light, visible against the dark fabric. The spectrum ends in a sharp, violet edge where it meets the curtain folds. Shadows from the window frame fall across the floorboards.
