A young woman is sitting alone on the roof of an old brick building, against a backdrop of urban beltlines. The camera angle is slightly below her, showcasing both her and the city’s extensive rail system beyond. She is slightly off-center to establish depth and balance within the frame. There’s a sense of solitariness but not loneliness. Her eyes are fixated on the night sky. A torn page from an astronomy book, filled with various star constellations, is laid flat next to her.
The scene is partially lit by a shy moonlight and the distant city lights, adding a soft, enigmatic glow to the whole vista. The predominant color is a dusky blue with hints of yellow from scattered lamps, echoing the stars she is trying to match with her paper guide. The focus alternates between her absorbed expression and the paper, then slowly pans to include the sprawling city with its shadowy beltlines. Final shot: a wide view of her diminutive form on the rooftop, indulging in skywatching amidst the sleeping cityscape.
