"high_level_description": "A 16:9 monochrome torn-paper photomontage: a lighthouse on a rocky point, sliced into offset horizontal bands yet reading as one solid tower, throws a pale wedge of light across a field of television static that dissolves into clear, resolved sky around it, all mounted on a plain pale warm-gray sheet with the headline 'Sculpting Static' set flush left in the open margin.",

"aesthetics": "torn-paper photomontage, monochrome, patient and precise, quietly wistful, gallery-poster restraint, generous negative space",
"lighting": "flat, even, shadowless studio light on the paper ground; inside the photographic fragments a soft directional daylight with deep blacks, clean mid-grays and a luminous edge highlight down the tower; the only cast shadows are the thin soft ones under each torn strip",
