Description

A slender African-American woman stands near a window in a dimly lit, decaying room. She wears a long, dark, formal dress. Light streams in through the window onto the concrete wall, highlighting the cracks and texture. The light illuminates the woman's face and upper body. The woman has her arms reaching up towards the window. The floor is dark and out of focus. The walls of the room are stained and aged. The room seems to be from an old building, and there is minimal decoration. The light and shadows add to the dramatic mood of the image. The photograph is an eye-level shot.
