This is an A4 piece of paper horizontally orientated with what appears to be a photo of an office positioned in the centre of the page. The photo has a rectangular shape with approximate dimensions of 15cm by 10cm. At the left border, a wooden grey-brownish, office lower cabinet with a face frame and rectangular shaped cabinet doors, attached directly to the cabinet. The cabinet has a rectangular edge profile. Collectively, the working desk and the cabinet make an L-shaped working area. At the left edge of the desk, there is LED metallic table Lamp. Adjacent to the lamp, there is a pile of writing notes and stickers. In the centre of the desk, the monitor is placed with what appears to be a single cordless phone on its left and a computer mouse to the right. Additionally, to the right of the phone, a pen case with two pens is seen. In front of the desk, a single poled lounge chair is present with a dark purple seat and backrest.
The panoramic window behind the desk allows for sea views with a visible beach and mountainous area. Finally, there is a grey curtain pulled to the left, to allow full view from the window.
