Glowing-code Curtains in Vertical Frame

A lone programmer moves through a tall narrow corridor of luminous code that hangs like curtains, portraying quiet intent and forward motion in a vertical 9:16 frame. Surfaces of the cascading sheets are unlettered and clean, with micro-markings reduced to abstract lines that catch light and imply syntax without legible words. The air feels cool and slightly hazed, a mist of fine particles that diffuses the neon glow and gives depth to the space. Foreground sheets resolve crisply with moderate layering behind them to emphasize the passage and the subject, creating a shallow to moderate depth of field. Light grazes the translucent panels with gentle separation, casting teal and purple reflections and a warm amber rim along edges to echo the palette of #0F172A, #0EA5A4, #7C3AED, and #F59E0B. Framing is tight and vertical, eye-level viewpoint with a normal perceived width, leaving clean negative space above and below to respect the 9:16 crop. Materials include glass-like translucent sheets, matte floor panels, and faintly reflective metal trims that read as tactile anchors. A single wearable item such as a slim backpack or rolled sleeve provides narrative context and human scale. The scene reads as a digital-realism illustration rendered with painterly texturing and subtle grain to suggest atmosphere and materiality.
