A powerful, anonymous portrait of a young woman with an Arab appearance, photographed in Paris. She wears large gold earrings, a sporty blue-white-black training vest and has shoulder-length black hair with short fringes. Her bright red lipstick and direct, confident gaze into the lens make the image intrusive and direct.
The woman shows her natural skin, including scars from acne, which makes her look genuine and human. The picture was taken outside, under a clear blue, cloudless sky. In the background is a massive concrete apartment building in brutalist style - a recognisable element of many Parisian suburbs.
This image tells something about youth culture, identity and self-expression within a metropolitan context. It evokes associations with hip-hop, street fashion and the experience of everyday life in the suburbs of a metropolis.
A warm, visually strong photograph that invites you to look beyond the surface - to the stories behind attitude, style and background.
