I was drawn to the incongruous juxtaposition featured in this mural – the array of colorful birds seem at odds with the soulful expression of the woman. I saw this mural as a background context and photographed numerous festival patrons walking in front of it, including this woman in the white shirt. Just as she passed into the space between the birds and the sad looking woman, I was able to create another juxtaposition. I was delighted to see this woman raise her hand to her face, as if she was lost in thought. Her raised arm matches the angular flow of the arm of the woman behind her. She never sees the mural that we see. The image becomes a story of concentration, doubt, and introspection.
