A wide glass jar half filled with cloudy grey-green tinted water, streaks of muted violet and ochre pigment settling at the bottom, sitting on the corner of a cluttered wooden desk at night, a single warm lamp casting a soft pool of light, paintbrushes resting nearby, a dark bedsheet visible in the background covering a window, quiet moody atmosphere, photographic, shallow depth of field
