Wobbling Campaign Table Before Dawn

Pale morning light reflects softly off the smooth, off-white walls of a campaign office near Jeddah. A white folding table dominates the low-angle view, its metal legs slightly splayed as it bears the weight of stacked clipboards and unfolded political maps. The paper surfaces show creases and handwritten notes in dark ink. Warm shadows pool in the corners beneath the table, against the cool, grayish hue of the pre-dawn air. The maps display red and blue lines stretching across paper textures, while the clipboards lean precariously against one another. One plastic pen rests on the edge of the top clipboard, its cap pointing toward the center of the room.
