View from the back seat of a car towards the front, the leather seats and headrests framing the picture, revealing a 73-year-old woman standing on a cobblestone street in a 1910s setting. She is beaming with a wide open-mouthed smile that lifts the cheeks, holding a vintage telephone receiver to her ear as if in the middle of a conversation. The woman is of Micronesian descent with deep espresso-brown skin, a muscular build with broad arms, and is very tall with an oval face, hazel eyes, and sharply angled eyebrows. Her hair is fine pin-straight, snow-white, ear-length, and combed into a sharp side part. She is dressed exactly as the role requires, wearing a period-accurate long wool coat and a cloche hat. Next to her stands a parked horse-drawn carriage with a brass bell on the door tarnished with green patina, and a handwritten delivery slip is tucked under the carriage wheel. The telephone cord is a thick, insulated black rubber wire. Period-accurate signage hangs on the buildings in the background, with lines of the surroundings converging on the main figure. The first light of dawn from the side casts long pale-pink shadows across the cobblestones. Shot on a medium-format film camera at waist level, showing a gentle falloff of focus.
