Cut-paper shadow-box theatre

Cut-paper shadow-box theatre: five deeply layered charcoal and ivory paper planes with crisp hand-cut edges, showing a tall ivory paper bridge spanning a jagged charcoal chasm, its far end ending in a single saturated vermilion paper doorway. Small silhouetted paper figures carry slim paper planks across the gap, and a looming cut-paper wall of rigid interlocking cogs stands behind them. Warm directional light from the lower left casts long soft shadows between the planes, and the layered depth is visible in the thick card edges. Palette: charcoal, ivory, and one vermilion accent. The words 'THE SOFTWARE BRIDGE' sit in bold cut-paper serif letters across the upper third. 9:16 portrait phone wallpaper
