Wilting Bouquet Frozen Lightning Toulouse Showroom

Late afternoon light falls through sheer curtains, falling across a cluttered table in a Toulouse fashion showroom. An early autumn bouquet of roses sits beside scattered invoices and fabric swatches, petals curling inward from visible dehydration. A jagged bolt of lightning remains frozen mid-strike, branching visibly across the upper corner of the room. The electrical discharge illuminates the wilting stems with a sharp, electric blue glow against the warm, dusty tones of the paper and silk. Tiny droplets of condensation rest on the glass vases, catching the fractured light. Quiet shadows line the walls where the impossible storm hangs just above the floral arrangement, the blue edge of the lightning striking the table surface.
