On a busy but ordinary city street, shot from a low angle, a traditional, herbal remedy store – the only authorised dealer in a city of artificial supplements, underlines the power disparity. The depth shows the isolated store set apart from tall, soulless concrete structures, their windows shining brightly under the cold blue moonlight, contrasting with the warm, yellow glow of the store. The shot leads in with a tracking movement following a young woman, our focus, crossing the street towards the store. Her vibrant red coat, contrasting with the monochrome city, reflects the tension between the healthful old ways and the modern world. Balancing the composition, a nameless crowd hurries past, blurred and insignificant. She stops in front of the store, the pull of tradition and wisdom etched into the wrinkled face of an elderly man visible through the store window. ambiance, such as the sound of rushing traffic and the hum of the city life, are part of the environmental interpretation. A portrait of tradition versus modernity, introspection versus ignorance.
