A hyper-realistic painting of a solidly built 50-year-old woman in a baby-doll dress sorting salvaged metal in a ruined concrete factory, mimicking a 90s photo.

This hyper-realistic painting captures the gritty, desaturated aesthetic of 1990s post-Cold War photojournalism. Simulating the distortion of a wide-angle lens on 35mm film, the artwork uses muted oil pigments and heavily textured canvas to ground its bleak, industrial reality.
