I watched this woman, leaning heavily on her cane, take very slow steps as she carefully maneuvered past a series of houses, each with a set of steps of their own. Suddenly a younger person, wearing athletic shoes, emerged from one of those houses and began to descend the steps just in front of the woman with the cane. I used the top edge of my frame to abstract this person, including only the legs. In using my frame in this way, I create an incongruous symbol of youth and vigor. These symbolic young legs contrast to the infirm legs of the woman with the cane. She never looks up. The person coming out of the door stopped and stood silently on the step as she slowly passed.
