The wait, Cuenca, Ecuador, 2011

This woman is patiently waiting for a bus. She stands opposite a white wall and gray street. She stands before a tree in backlight, which offers a silhouette that stresses form and shape at the expense of detail. The black and white treatment creates a mood that is still, pensive, quiet – which reflects her situation: waiting to get on with her life. By removing color, particularly the green foliage, we simplify the point at hand.
