Wide view from far away, the main figure small inside a large surrounding space, showing a 38-year-old woman of Indigenous North American descent with light olive skin, a short stocky build, average height, a diamond-shaped face with high cheekbones, pale light-blue eyes, bushy eyebrows, tightly coiled zig-zag hair, long mid-back hair of chestnut-brown colour in long box braids, wearing a floral midi skirt and a tucked-in black T-shirt. The woman is gazing off dreamily with a soft smile and parted lips, sitting in a shaded courtyard during a heatwave, fanning herself with a paper menu as the air shimmers above the pavement and nearby plants droop under the sun. Wilted flowers sit in a terracotta pot nearby, and closed wooden shutters are visible on the adjacent building. Heat haze distorts the background, blurring the edges of the surrounding architecture. The medium-format film camera at waist level captures the scene with a gentle falloff of focus, while a street lamp in thick fog creates a halo of light and everything beyond it fading to grey. Three main elements are placed as the corners of a triangle, balancing the composition. Shot on medium-format film, the image exhibits a gentle depth of field, soft color tones, and a hazy, atmospheric quality due to the fog and heat.
