Seen as a reflection in a wet or polished surface of the place, the reflected image filling the frame of an improvised expression sheet made of clay lumps shaped into faces, stuck onto a piece of cardboard with pieces of tape, sitting on a cluttered workbench amidst scattered tools. Fingerprints are pressed into the soft clay cheeks, the tape is frayed and dirty, and a chisel is lying nearby with clay dust on it, all mirrored in the glossy surface below. The 35mm lens captures the scene at a conversational distance, with the main figure cut by the frame edge, only part of it in the picture, creating an intimate and slightly distorted perspective. Flat greenish light from a ceiling fluorescent tube illuminates the workspace, casting a uniform, unflattering glow over the clay and the cardboard. Shot on a 35mm lens, the reflection shows slight distortions and the texture of the wet surface, with a realistic grain typical of film photography.
