Torn Paper Layers in Nairobi Stair Hall Light

Warm amber and rust-orange strips of torn paper stack in perfect concentric circles against a backdrop of cream-colored ceramic tiles. Late morning rain falls through sheer curtains, casting soft, shifting shadows across the geometric arrangement. The rough, fibrous edges of the paper catch the diffused light, highlighting their uneven textures against the smooth, gridded floor. Vertical lines of the stairwell frame the circular pattern, creating a rhythmic visual pulse. Deep red shadows pool in the crevices between the paper layers, while the tiled surface reflects a muted sheen from the window. A jagged tear on the outermost ring breaks the symmetry with a sharp, dark line.
