A miniature underground city built inside a coal briquette, photographed in macro on a concrete floor. The briquette stands upright and is cut away on one side to reveal that each of its nineteen round holes is a vertical shaft lined with tiny dwellings — small windows, ladders, walkways and washing lines spanning between shafts at different depths. Warm orange light glows up from deep inside each hole, so the whole cylinder is pierced with columns of light. Tiny figures climb the ladders and lean out of openings. The briquette itself stays absolutely real: pressed black coal dust texture, chipped edges, grey ash bloom on the surface, a fine dusting of coal powder on the concrete around it and on the photographer's fingertips at the frame edge. Real photographic macro of a physical handmade diorama, shallow depth of field, the cut face sharp. The object is the architecture. No real company logo, no real brand name.
