The bright yellow hat of this diner drew my attention, and I built this image around the rhythmic echoes of both its implied circle, as well as the circular clock on the wall behind her. This picture asks the viewer to consider if she is really passing the time by drinking two beverages at once (hot and cold), or if one of them may belong to someone else, who has perhaps temporarily vacated the opposite chair? The image also speaks to the passage of time itself – the woman is oblivious to the large hands of the clock relentlessly recording each departing minute a only a few feet over her head. She seems otherwise occupied – possibly lost in the pages of a good read.
