Wilting Bouquet in Gwangju Fashion Atelier

Golden sunlight pools across a polished work table, illuminating a bouquet of roses that have lost their turgor and curl inward at the edges. Beside the drooping stems lie scattered fabric swatches in deep charcoal and cream, along with printed invoices marked with Korean characters. The dry season air has left the flower petals brittle and slightly browned at the margins. Warm light reflects off the glass surface, creating sharp, amber highlights on the paper edges. Negative space surrounds the arrangement, showing the quiet stillness of the room. One wilted petal rests on the corner of a shipping document, its texture against the crisp, printed text.
