A cinematic black and white scene unfolds as an Asian teenager sits contemplatively on the edge of a narrow bed, the smoke from his cigarette curling lazily towards the ceiling. The small, cluttered room feels intimate, with a single, half-open window allowing slivers of light to filter through, most of it softly diffused by a billowing curtain that moves gently with the breeze. Shadows play across his face, capturing a moment of introspection against the backdrop of a city that hums quietly beyond the glass.
