Still in Motion

The square framing of the image, reinforces the stillness of the snapshot. However, the position of the woman, with her hair and skirt blowing, and the blurriness of the train depict the fast motion of the urban life. The juxtaposition of train’s speed and frame’s stillness capture the reaction of woman to her surrounding.
