A Window-Side Grill Lunch in Seoul

The sequence begins with a counter beside a window. Plates arrive as small compositions: a wide rim, a few carefully placed elements, and a view that remains visible behind the table.

The camera moves from the grill to individual dishes and then to dessert. These are photographs of a meal, not a current menu or a review of service; the images are enough to follow the changing shapes on the table.
