Seen through leaves and branches in the foreground, a soft green fringe around the picture, capturing a 44-year-old woman of South Asian descent standing in the grass below, head tilted up, reaching a hand toward the drifting form. The woman has warm golden-tan skin, a slender build, a heart-shaped face with a pointed chin, dark brown eyes, thin fine eyebrows, laugh lines around the eyes, and very long waist-length hair dyed deep teal worn loose and natural in defined S-shaped waves. She shouts with her mouth wide open and the cords of her neck standing out, wearing a fleece jacket that is damp with recent precipitation. Above her, a dense, swirling bank of grey storm clouds in a bright blue sky forms the distinct silhouette of a young child, with visible arms and a head held together by the mist, hovering just above the trees. Dark rain begins to fall from the edges of the cloud figure. A single white kite string is tangled in the grass below. The scene is viewed with a 35mm lens at a conversational distance, with the main figure off-centre on a third, the rest of the frame showing where it is. First light of dawn from the side casts long pale-pink shadows across the grass and the cloud base. Shot on 35mm film, with soft grain, natural color cast, and shallow depth of field blurring the foreground leaves.
