Full-color photograph on film on a wet city street just after rain, the camera low at the edge of a wide, still puddle, framing both the real scene and its mirror image. A Brazilian woman in her mid-twenties with golden-brown skin and long curly hair leaps over the puddle beside a black Brabus P 900 pickup parked at the curb, her legs stretched wide in a split and frozen at the top of the jump, in a long black leather coat flying open, a white tank top, black cargo trousers and white platform sneakers, her arms spread for balance. The truck stands behind her in side profile, its glossy black paint, carbon fender flares and black roll bar beaded with rain. The puddle below holds a perfect upside-down mirror image of the leap, the woman and the truck against a pale sky, broken only by a few ripples where a drop has fallen. Wet cobblestones frame the puddle, and a crumpled paper cup floats at its edge. In the background, a row of tall old apartment buildings with iron balconies stands under a bright gray sky.
