EditableThe FIFA World Cup trophy sitting
alone on a plain white marble
surface under a single overhead
spotlight, small and golden and
real, but its shadow projected
on the white wall behind it is
not the shape of the trophy —
the shadow is a perfectly detailed
silhouette of a packed stadium
seen from inside, 80,000 raised
arms visible in the shadow,
floodlight towers, roof arch,
every seat filled, the tiny
golden object and its enormous
meaningful shadow are the only
things in the frame, stark
white background, one light
source, nothing else needed,
