Single frame. Office of the commissioner of the NATIONAL ANTI-CORRUPTION COMMISSION. Soldier’s camo helmet hanging from the sign, a pair of dirty army boots, one on the desk, a book marked “ADF FRIENDS”, a mug of tea on its side spilling contents to the floor; postcards on the wall, dirty hand print; a wastepaper basket with a tattered ROBODEBT report; and a bent man slinking out the door.
