北京郊外 Suburban Beijing

A woman with dark hair pulled back crouches in a field of small pale purple and white wildflowers, resting her chin on her folded hands and gazing toward the camera with a slight smile. She wears a black jacket and trousers with a light patterned scarf at the collar; a dirt path curves through the flowers and a stand of bare trees in the soft-focus background. The palette is muted — lavender, white, and green blooms against black clothing — with even, diffused light. *Suburban Beijing*, Yoshihiko Ueda, 1998, C-print.
