Matte-black ribbon minimal 16:9 composition

In the center-right of a dark, minimal frame, a length of matte-black ribbon twists upward from the lower edge to form a subtle, abstracted percentage-like curve before trailing off into shadow, its shape defined solely by soft rim light from the upper left. The ribbon reads as a dense, satin-matte material, with no glossy specular highlights, only velvety bands of brightness that move from #050505 along the upper edge to #0B0B0B in the folds, while the underside collapses into almost pure black. A small secondary loop of ribbon near the base lightly overlaps itself, creating a tight focal cluster of 2–3 folds that catches a touch more light, emphasizing the flowing form without feeling chaotic. The left half of the composition is preserved as expansive negative space, a gently shifting gradient of near-black that becomes slightly lighter toward the central vertical axis and darker again at the far left, with no objects or hard lines intruding. A faint vertical guideline in slightly lighter black, nearly invisible, runs close to the center of the frame, reinforcing the sense of an underlying grid. The background atmosphere feels dense and still, with the far segments of the ribbon softly fading into a subtle haze as they recede from the brightest area. There is no printed pattern, lettering, or numerical sign anywhere on the ribbon or in the scene, ensuring a completely text-free image.
