In a narrow, grungy alley strewn with trash and dotted with puddles, a man walks through, his figure only faintly outlined by the limited light. The scattered refuse and standing water seem to take on a life of their own, as they reflect the sparse illumination and create eerie mirror images of the passerby. Anchoring the scene is a lone neon sign, its garish light cutting through the darkness just enough to partially reveal the man and his bag. The flickering sign casts a dim but atmospheric glow, adding an element of foreboding to the urban labyrinth he navigates.
