A photograph of a single man in a white short-sleeved shirt and lavender trousers bending over a large pile of reddish-brown earth and rubble on a dirt ground. He is sorting or picking through scattered pale grey and tan stones and rocks, some broken slabs lying on the ground. A red brick wall with climbing green vines and a chain-link fence stand behind the pile, with trees beyond. The scene looks like a construction or site-clearing work area. No ritual, discourse or person identifiable as a person is visible.
