Inside a cramped neighbourhood shop: long black synthetic hair extensions hang among cheap phone charger cables and clear plastic phone cases. At the far lower right edge, just an adult shopkeeper's hand peeling an orange over an open cardboard receipt-roll box on a laminate counter; the orange peel curls into the box. The cables and hair almost confused at first glance. Frontal crooked crop, a bit too close to the window display, cool overcast February window light and ordinary fluorescent shop light, absolutely no readable brands. No face needed.

Night photograph from an unoccupied borrowed bed in an ordinary short-term rental in Montreal.
