A young girl stands in the middle of a field overgrown with milfoils, struggling to hold onto an overlarge fourragere, a remnant from an ancestor’s time in the military. Precariously balanced in her small hands, its colors seem to glisten under the warm afternoon sun. The camera shot is taken at a low angle, capturing her determined expression in sharp focus amidst the hazy sea of green and white flowers. The open field stretches out around her, a sign of her family’s recent relocation to the countryside. The soft light of the setting sun casts long shadows, adding depth to the relatively flat landscape. As the camera slowly zooms out, she becomes smaller in the frame, alluding to her small stature in comparison to the wide, vast world that surrounds her. The drama of the scene is augmented by the contrast between the bright, vivid green color of the field and the dull, faded colors of the antique fourragere. The placement of the girl, alone in this huge space, evokes both loneliness and resolve.
