Style: Magical realism, deep focus, incredibly detailed.
Composition: An extreme close-up of a human eye, reflecting not a person’s face, but a vast, intricate model city. The city is a perfect blend of nature and technology—buildings intertwined with living trees, light rails running on greenways. This is the “Blueprint.” However, on the pupil of the eye, the point of sharpest focus, is a single, burning matchstick. The flame is small but brilliant. The image is so sharp we can see the grains of wood beginning to char. The reflection in the eye shows tiny, ant-like figures not running from the match, but studying it with magnifying glasses and schematics—they are the “investigators.”
Lighting: The cool, ambient light of the reflected utopian city, contrasted with the hot, pinpoint light of the match.
