A short-haired facilitator listens to a resident across a low table holding a folded map, with an empty meeting chair nearby.

Finished editorial illustration, 2:3 portrait. A small public listening session in a spare civic room, viewed from near floor height. At lower right, a broad, squat facilitator with short cobalt hair sits leaning forward attentively, hands resting simply on their knees. At left, a lanky seated resident speaks with one open hand. Their minimal faces turn toward each other. A low table between them holds one oversized folded map with a few broad unlabelled land shapes. One empty chair continues the loose meeting semicircle. Exaggerated asymmetric silhouettes, clearly legible at thumbnail size. Expressive hand-drawn marker contours around broad impasto-inspired paint daubs; suggest thick paint through a few blunt strokes, not intricate texture. Warm ivory background, cobalt accents, restrained charcoal outlines. Soft daylight, sparse floor marks, generous empty upper space. No crowds, intricate hatching, text, logos or watermarks.
