Phone call, El Segundo Barrio, El Paso, Texas, 2014

An agricultural mural dominates this photograph. It speaks of youth, farming, equipment, and promise. It plays against the body language of a man making a phone call. The pay phone he uses advertises international calls at 25 cents per minute in Spanish. Perhaps he speaks with family or friend in neighboring Mexico. One arm rests on top of the pay phone. It echoes the position of the arm of the young man in the mural. Only he is much larger in scale – a figure of promise, contrasting to the small abstracted figure behind him.
