Rock pile duty, Sucre, Bolivia, 2014

I found this red-clad city worker filling a wheelbarrow with rocks, over and over again. It is repetitive hard labor. I express this interpretively by moving my camera position to the other side of the rock pile, filling the entire lower half of the frame with an undulating flow of rocks. By contrasting her small figure to the vast amount of rock, I imply just how much hard work may still remain. Her bright red uniform contrasts sharply to the dull gray-brown rocks, calling our attention to her labors. The woman carrying a green plastic bag walks through the background brings a different level of effort and another kind of task to the image. She never looked at the woman shoveling rocks as she passes her.
