Saline Refill Tray at Midnight Barber Station

A white plastic saline refill tray sits centered on a dark wooden barber station, illuminated by the warm, yellow glow of a projector beam cutting through the dim room. The light reflects softly off the curved rim of the tray and the glass of nearby mirrors. Behind the tray, the wall is painted a deep charcoal, absorbing the surrounding darkness while the projector highlights the texture of the wood grain. The edges of the room fade into shadow, suggesting a quiet moment after hours in Bordj Bou Arreridj. No beauty-campaign gloss mars the surfaces; the plastic shows minor scuffs, and the liquid inside the tray catches the projector light with a subtle, shimmering highlight along its inner curve.
