A glass pitcher filled with water contains a submerged metal heating coil with a black handle resting on its edge. The image features a grayscale color palette, consisting primarily of shades of black, white, and gray. The pitcher is at the center, and the black handle is leaning against the left side of the pitcher, casting a shadow on the light-colored background. Tiny bubbles cling to the metal coil inside the pitcher.
