Gobo Lighting
Use cutouts, window grids or patterns to shape projected light and make light and shadow part of the setting.
Prompt
Use Gobo Lighting: project a clear window-grid pattern of light and shadow onto the existing rear wall, aligned with light coming from the existing window on the left. Preserve the wall’s original material and geometry; the pattern is projected illumination.

Effect comparison
In the baseline image, there is no distinct window-grid projection across Ruk or the studio walls and floor. The gobo-lighting version projects a grid of light and shadow from the left window onto the back wall and floor, with its lines extending along the surfaces. The regular tonal pattern brings the window's shape into the space, allowing the background to contribute to the image's rhythm.
