A Handful of Shade
A Handful of Shade. The high-contrast monochrome isolates a universal human gesture of vulnerability on a summer day. The central figure's hand forms a fragile, momentary shield against the relentless light, mirrored by a second figure in the background. The scene is framed by the permanent, imposing structure of the bridge.
