The clothes hold the shape of a body that is not there.
GARMENT: an oversized camp-collar half-sleeve shirt in deep indigo, crinkle-textured cotton-viscose, worn by an invisible occupant. Shoulders squared from inside, chest holding round volume, sleeves cylindrical with a soft break at the elbow. The collar stands open; inside the neck opening the shirt's own dark back panel is visible, curving away, filled with cloth, not a head. A small woven brand label sits flat against the inner yoke, a narrow charcoal rectangle, lettering unresolved.
LOWER HALF: bone-white wide-leg cotton trousers holding leg volume, knees bent at ninety degrees, deep creases at each knee, stacking over the shoe. The pale cloth reads bright against the dark floor and carries light further down the frame than the shirt. Two dark brown leather loafers rest flat on the floor, angled outward.
POSTURE: the figure sits back in a low walnut chair, right forearm along the chair arm with the cuff open, left sleeve straight. The cushion compresses under the invisible weight.
BACKGROUND: a deep umber wall, unlit at the edges. Three depth layers: loafers foreground, figure midground, a tall brass vessel catching one highlight far back left.
LIGHT: a single narrow warm source, high and hard to the left, close to the figure. Sixty percent of the frame stays in shadow. It skims the left shoulder and sleeve, picking each crimped ridge as a thin amber line, then dies before crossing the chest. A narrow cool kicker from behind right catches the far edge of shoulder and sleeve as a thin bright line, separating garment from wall. Beneath the chair legs and both shoes a defined shadow sits on the floor as a distinct shape, darker than the ground. Shadows amber and umber, never grey.
FRAME: vertical, full figure with air above the collar, dark right third kept clear.
No head, no hands, no neck, no skin, no mannequin, no visible support. Clothing only, filled with air. No overlay text, logos or watermarks.
