Tin Taw Liang, January 1998
1998, printed 2001

A young girl stands centered in the frame, wearing a green uniform with a yellow scarf tied around her neck. She is in an outdoor setting with smoke or mist in the background, and a simple structure can be seen through the haze. Her expression is neutral, and she looks directly at the camera. The ground appears to be a dirt path, and there is some debris to her left. The image has a white border, suggesting it is a photograph within a photograph.
