A dimly lit hospital room holds the focus. In the foreground, an elderly man works on a complex mechanical device full of intricate parts and strange, alternating motions. His fingers, thin and fragile from time, are lit from above by a simple chart light. Behind him, a grand chair and to its side, an IV stand, a swinging pendulum marking the steady drops of life-giving fluid, a subtle nod to his war with an invisible foe – a battle against a blood disease.
From a high angle shot, we can feel the sense of tension, solitude, and intent. The colors are muted. The room is a symphony of grays and cold blues, except for the mechanical device, which shines with a golden hue, creating a stark contrast. The space feels limited, but perfectly balanced between the man, the chair, and the IV stand.
