Tropical Fish Swim Over Office Files at Night

Stark fluorescent light floods an open-plan office bay in Jaipur, illuminating a cluttered desk where scuffed cabinet paint frames the view. A dull acrylic privacy screen clip holds handled folders in place. Suspended in the air at head height, a school of tropical fish swims through the empty space, their scales reflecting the harsh overhead glow. Polished surfaces catch small, sharp highlights that cut through the late-night darkness. The fish move in a tight, synchronized cluster, their fins trailing in the silent air. Negative space surrounds the desk, showing the isolation of the workspace. at the edge is a single silver scale peeling away from the lead fish, hovering just above the stack of papers.
