Seen in a wall mirror at an angle, the mirror edge cuts the frame diagonally from the top left to the bottom right, reflecting a wholesale market stall. The reflection shows a wooden crate filled with fresh leafy greens and herbs, viewed through layers of waxed paper partially unrolled and a handwritten price tag on a cardboard box. In the foreground, slightly out of focus, a metal scale with a tray slightly askew sits on a counter. The scene is captured at waist level with a medium-format film camera, creating a gentle falloff of focus that keeps the center of the reflection sharp while the edges soften. The lighting is the cold white light of an open fridge door, which is the only light source in the dark kitchen, casting a stark, clinical glow on the vegetables and the metal surfaces. The composition features three clear layers of depth: the near scale, the middle reflection of the crate, and the far dark background of the kitchen. Shot on a medium format film camera, the image displays a high level of detail in the sharp zone, with a noticeable grain and a cool color cast from the fridge light.
