Matte-Black Gift Stack Minimalist Composition

A tall, narrow stack of matte-black gift boxes rises from the lower center of the frame, composed of two square boxes and a smaller rectangular one on top, all bound together by a single matte-black ribbon that wraps vertically and horizontally in clean bands. Soft top-down lighting emphasizes the upper planes of each box, creating a gentle cascade of highlights from #050505 on the topmost lid to slightly darker tones on the tiers below, while the sides of the stack fall into smooth gradients that almost merge with the background. The ribbon, made of dense, velvety material, catches a slightly brighter rim of light along its outer edges, separating it from the box surfaces without introducing gloss, and a simple knot sits at the very top, its silhouette crisp against the surrounding darkness. The lower third of the image supports a subtle suggestion of a floor plane through a shallow oval of soft shadow, while the upper half to two thirds is reserved as open, uncluttered negative space, a vertical field of near-black that lightens just behind the stack and then fades back to #020202 near the top border. A barely visible vertical separator in slightly lighter black runs close to the right edge, indicating a gentle compositional boundary while keeping that side of the frame visually quiet. Atmospheric falloff makes the lower parts of the stack slightly softer than the upper tier, reinforcing the viewer’s focus on the top box and knot. None of the boxes or ribbons carry any pattern, label, or wording, and there is no readable text anywhere in the scene.
