Seen as a reflection in a wet or polished surface of the place, the reflected image filling the frame, a single black ant crawls across a large, glossy black business card that appears as a vast, smooth black landscape. The ant moves slowly, its tiny legs reflecting the studio light with sharp specular highlights, while a microscopic speck of dust rests on the card's edge and a faint fingerprint smudge sits near the card's corner. The 85mm lens captures the scene from a few metres away, compressing the background into a soft, indistinct blur where lines of the surroundings converge on the main figure. Flat greenish light from a ceiling fluorescent tube illuminates the scene, casting a uniform, sterile glow across the glossy surfaces. Shot on a medium format digital back, the image displays sharp focus on the ant and card with a shallow depth of field that blurs the converging background lines.
