Winter Campaign Office Entrance with Wet Bicycles

Molten copper light spills across a concrete floor near the employee entrance of a campaign office outside Rouen. Dozens of bicycles lean against a metal barrier, their frames and tires glistening with melting snow. Wet posters rest on the barriers, their paper swollen and peeling in the damp winter air. Badge lanyards hang from hooks in chaotic clusters, their plastic tags reflecting the low sun. The scene is filled with the texture of wet wool coats and slushy tires. Leading lines of the parked bikes guide the view toward the heavy steel door, where the copper glow fades into shadow. One puddle near the threshold mirrors the hanging badges in distorted silver.
