In a dimly lit, retrofitted mechanic’s garage, rusted machines crowd the background giving depth to the scene; industrial, cool colors of steel blues and rusty browns fill the frame. Unfocused at first, the shot comes into focus on a pair of grease-streaked hands holding a worn-out gasket. A single, diffused overhead light highlights the metal artifact, guiding the viewer’s eye towards the centered subject. The camera slowly pans up, offering a low-angle perspective of a middle-aged mechanic, his face hardened with concentration. Movement is emphasized with fallen leaves drifting through the open doors, swirling around the otherwise still space.
