Cut-paper shadow-box theatre: a boarding ladder cut from layered intelligence-memo sheets climbs toward a looming ship's rail but stops one rung short, the last gap barred by a single saturated signal-red crossbar. Six nested planes build the depth — torn ivory pages with fibrous cut edges in front, the charcoal ladder and rail mid-stage, an immense curved ivory hull behind. Hard raking light from the upper left throws long, crisp shadows from each plane onto the one behind, and the words 'LUCK WITH A BETTER NAME', cut from charcoal paper, span the upper third above the rail. 9:16 portrait phone wallpaper.
