In the doorway of a dilapidated home, a nude feminine figure is presented in profile. The aging structure in this nostalgic art photograph appears to be made entirely of wood: the wall, floor, and door.
There is a prophetic element to this abandoned property. She stands at the threshold of the darkness. Her peachy tones glow against the drab recesses of the home. Her downward glance foreshadows an impending ebbing into the unknown.
Although she looks down and away, her face halfway visible, her expression reads strong emotion and intention. She is standing tall, stretching her body into a vertical line, as if against a wall. Her face and posture signal resolve and self-determination in the face of this foreboding.
An old brick props the door half-way open. The entire structure is faded, the weathered wood is mostly gray, with remnants of paint and its original natural color. In a window at the right, partially open blinds are bent beyond functionality.
A board, inside the house, leans up against the window at the left of the composition. The upper part of this window reflects bright sky and green trees, and is the most vibrant part of the scenery.
Dead vines, dried on the siding, underscore the dilapidated state of the building. Mossy red brick steps are below her feet, and wood rot is visible at the foundation. Despite the state of her surroundings, there is an uplifting, nostalgic, confident spirit to this artwork.
