Shot through a window pane with raindrops and faint reflections on the glass, a 20-year-old woman of North African descent stands alone in a wholesale flower market, pausing to inspect a chalk price tag on a wooden crate. She has rich chestnut-brown skin, a tall lanky frame, and a long narrow face with amber eyes and sharply angled eyebrows, one eyebrow raised high in disbelief and her mouth twisted. Her ear-length hair is dyed lilac and styled in neat cornrows. She wears a silk sari in saffron and gold, holding a large bouquet of lotuses in her hands. The chalk price tag is smudged with rain and petal stains. Green stems in a brass bucket leak water onto wet cobblestones, and a plastic bag tied to the crate handle holds loose jasmine buds. The view is a 200mm telephoto from far away, with background layers stacked flat. A street lamp in thick fog creates a halo of light, and everything beyond it fades to grey. Three main elements are placed as the corners of a triangle. Shot on medium format digital camera with shallow depth of field, visible rain distortion on the glass, and muted cool tones.
