Enfermeira Exausta em Foto de Sala de Descanso de 2004

A completely ordinary everyday photo taken by accident with a cheap 2004 pocket digital camera, forced flash on. A young Indonesian woman in light blue surgical scrubs sits slumped on a worn plastic chair in a dimly lit hospital break room. She holds a steaming paper cup of cheap coffee in one hand, her other hand rubbing her tired eyes. Her surgical mask is pulled down under her chin. Her expression is one of pure, exhausted relief - a faint, weary smile. Realistic skin: visible pores on her nose, slight dark circles under her eyes, a faint red mark on her cheek from the mask, no beauty filter. The background is a soft blur of a vending machine, a microwave covered in sticky notes, and a wilting potted plant. Harsh fluorescent overhead light casts deep, ugly shadows. Heavy grain, slight chromatic aberration, sickly greenish-yellow tint. A stray cat tail curls around the leg of the chair at the bottom left corner. dutch angle, stray cat tail --ar 9:16
