FEATURES OF VISUAL OBJECTS: |
The back of Lydia—we see only her lower body as she carries a baby in an infant car seat, pacing on a porch in rhythmic steps, presumably to soothe the baby, waiting and looking for someone. A black wrought iron bench sits on the right; brick pillars connected by wrought iron fencing surround the shaded porch. The sun shines, creating shadows and darkness on the cement of the porch. |

Physical tiredness, helplessness. Contrast of lightness and darkness evokes feelings of right and wrong, warmth and coldness. |
