A dilapidated old bookstore with towering shelves filled with worn-out books, each filled with countless lore and theories about magical worlds. There’s an overwhelming, dusty soft light, turning everything into muted colors, giving depth to each and every element in the scene. In the back of the store, an unassuming young woman, who seems out of place as the miscast in this rustic setting, is deeply engrossed in a book whose cover reads ‘Durdom’. The shot is balanced with the woman’s focused curiosity on one side and the expansive, cluttered bookstore on the other. Framed from a high angle shot, her isolation and solitude in this ocean of knowledge become apparent as the camera pans out revealing not another soul in sight.
