The wonderful color of the wall and its journalistic display offers a perfect context for my intentions here. It helps amplify the fact that she works in a traditional culture, yet incongruously helps distribute the most up to the minute news. It is an incongruous portrait in many ways – for example, the tabloids that hang on the wall behind her speak of things that we can hardly imagine her even grasping. Yet the image also expresses a bit of her character. She seems experienced and respected, yet must have lived a life that has not always been an easy one. I sense both resignation and patience in her expression and body language.
