Forever missed calls
The apartment windows on the 34th floor faced west, pleasing with a magnificent golden hour in clear weather. The wind at this altitude hurts ears. Almost no traffic noise can be heard from here, except for the pervasive wail of ambulance sirens, vainly making their way through endless lines of taxis.
The forgotten smartphone vibrated in silent mode, slowly creeping towards the edge of the table. At noon the wave of calls subsided, but towards evening it surged with renewed vigor. The more time passed, the more clearly the callers realized that no one would answer the call.
The sun set and apartment plunged into twilight. Stars filled the sky one after another. The smartphone display turned on in the dark: it was time for notifications from messengers. The gadget lasted two days and turned off without ever leaving the table.
I rarely shoot scenes without characters, but this is very interesting. Here I create a certain environment and details that do not lead to any specific story, but give the audience the opportunity to succumb to the will of the associative series and think about something of their own. The text you read is my own interpretation of this image, again, devoid of specifics so as not to influence your personal experience. I'll be glad to know what you managed to see.
The central part of the composition became a glass block wall, built with transparent baseplate 16x16 paved with 1x1 trans-brown tiles. This baseplate is quite rare part that could only be found in three sets from 2007 and 2009.
