两头点燃的蜡烛与疲惫工匠

Wide 16:9 composition with clear margin on every side around the candle, both flames, the tray and the worker. The workspace stays unlettered, with no text anywhere. Setting (side view): a dark workshop bench in warm candlelight, backed by a plain wall with no lettering. The candle: one long pale candle lies flat and level on two slender metal supports, which cradle it a third of the way in from each tip. It runs across the whole frame, leaving both opposite ends exposed and free. The flames: a small flame burns on each tip, one at the far left end, the other at the far right end. They match in size and both grow out of the same wax body. From both ends the wax softens and runs, beading along the underside before dripping into a shallow metal tray. The tray sits on the bench beneath the middle of the candle, with small pools of wax already collected in it. The worker: a tired figure slumps on a stool beside the bench, chin propped on one hand, eyes half closed. Warm double candlelight falls on them, with a soft fill across the face.
