A young girl sits on the outskirts of a forest. The golden sunlight filters in through the dense overgrowth of some of the world’s prickliest thorns, casting long dancing shadows around her. The overall color scheme is earthy with tones of green and brown. The camera angle is low, providing a child’s eye view of the enchanted setting. Soft focus blurs the menacing brambles into the background, drawing attention to the girl and her innocent and earnest expression. The shot focuses on the girl, who is engrossed in prayer, an audacious act of piety against her prickly surroundings. She’s the sole subject in the frame creating a balance with the huge, imposing forest. The shot uses a deep depth of field to give us the sense of an expansive, seemingly endless forest. Suddenly, the camera slowly pans out to reveal a pentoside – a rare flower blooming amid the thorns – a strong sign of hope in an unexpected place.
