The supermarket interior is seen through a glass façade from the street, so the view arrives already filtered by reflection and framing. Window grids, signage and glare break the surface into overlapping planes, partly obscuring shelves and figures behind. Bright interior lighting pushes forward through the glass, turning the everyday shopfront into a layered construction of inside/outside.
