One of a series of portraits of 'ordinary' people with not-so-ordinary histories. These invisible histories are indicated in the misc-en-scene as well as in the details. The classical format (in terms of composition and lighting) is to emphasize the fact that in the history of portraiture it is usually the powerful who have had the privilege of being represented.
