Wilting Bouquet in Kandhkot Fashion Showroom

Amber city light floods a narrow backstage corridor in Kandhkot, illuminating dust motes suspended in the air. A bouquet of flowers, their petals drooping and edges browning from early winter dryness, rests on a polished counter. Beside the wilting stems lie scattered invoices and folded fabric samples in deep jewel tones. The golden hour glow reflects sharply off the metallic surfaces of the table, casting long, warm highlights across the paper documents. Shadows stretch deep into the corridor, showing the quiet tension of the room. One dried petal rests on the corner of a printed invoice.
