REEL / WINDOW / LABEL

Shell Study

Clear, smoked, black, and pale plastic shells with screws, edges, and highlights.

Visual principle

Treat the cassette as an analogue object system: reels, shell, window, label, and tape path rather than as music content.

Look at repetition, edge profile, spacing, material texture, negative space, reflected light, and the way small details create a larger system.

Alternate one strong object view with close material crops and quieter surface studies so the archive feels collected rather than repetitive.
