A middle-aged auditor, tired from a long day of work, accidentally mishears his train stop and gets off in an unfamiliar rural area. It’s late afternoon. The shot frames the vast field of tall raygrasses, swaying in sync with the breeze, largely occupying the foreground and the middle ground of the scene, their green color enhanced by the setting sun from the right side of the frame. The sky, awash in soft hues of the sunset, forms the background.
The camera angle is low, catching the auditor’s tired yet surprised face, slightly out of focus, as he stares at the green and yellow spectacle in front of him. The lens focuses on the swaying raygrasses closer to the camera as the overhead sun casts long, creeping shadows over the field. There’s a slowly shifting balance in the frame as the auditor walks from the left side of frame into the heart of the green sea, his monochrome business suit stark against the natural surroundings, as he ventures towards an unseen horizon.
