Polly Tootal, Photographer, London

Description

This documentary photograph by London-based photographer Polly Tootal captures a striking, tall makeshift structure constructed entirely from vertical sheets of corrugated metal. The tower stands prominently in the middle of a wide, unpaved dusty road, flanked by sparse trees on the left and low-rise buildings and a palm tree in the distance on the right. Several small figures of people walk along the street and stand near the edges under a clear sky. The analog color grading and visible film border framing give the architectural observation an authentic, observational perspective.
