A close-up vertical photograph shows a rustic window set into a cream-coloured wall. Two tall wooden shutters painted a deep teal green flank the window; the paint is heavily weathered and peeling. Above and below the window, vines of ivy in peak autumn transition climb up and down, displaying a mix of yellow, burnt orange and crimson leaves. Centred in front of the lower glass pane and sitting prominently on the window ledge is an antique, dome-topped birdcage made of rusted metal. It’s empty.
