This image is all about hands, arms, and space. The woman waiting for her tram creates a square with her arms, as if subconsciously defending her space. She leans on a wall as she waits, while a man leans on a post adjacent to that wall. I cropped him out of my frame, leaving only his arm and hand to press against that post. The woman ignores his presence, yet we can feel the tension generated by the intrusion of the man’s hand into the frame. The battered post adds context – it is a well-worn barrier, separating two strangers in space.
