Christopher Simpson, Photographer, New York

Description

This vertical portrait features a woman standing outdoors and reaching out to touch a massive, finely fitted stone wall made of enormous irregular blocks. The subject wears a light blue sleeveless top, black leggings, a white cap, a dark backpack, and hiking boots. Her right hand is raised against the textured surface of the lower central stone. Natural sunlight casts soft shadows across the ground and the lower section of the stonework. The composition emphasizes the scale of the ancient masonry relative to the human figure.
