Magenta Frame Threshold
Concept
Eye-level camera in a charcoal-violet plastic chamber looking straight through a massive chrome rectangular gateway frame. Beyond the threshold: magenta-to-cyan sky gradient, amber fog floor strip, and a procession of translucent lime glass pyramids receding into depth. Outer chamber walls crop left and right as a second nested frame around the chrome gate.
Why this way
Yesterday was a teal mirrored pool dual-horizon. Prior days rode saffron cliff drop, amber cavern mouth, rose glass archipelago, and lime prism corridor. Today is nested gateway/frame into another space — not waterline, precipice, chamber mouth, island chain, or tunnel tube.
Judgment
Kept attempt 1. Clear nested chrome gateway layout, period plastic rock walls, hard chrome speculars, lime glass translucency, not photoreal, not lone-prop-on-mesa. Open lower third for icons. No redo.
