Shot from below at a low dutch angle, the woman looms in the foreground with the vaulted ribbed ceiling of the Oura Catholic Church tilting steeply overhead behind her, so the whole nave rears up around her small figure and she dominates the lower two-thirds of the frame, chin dropped, one shoulder rolled higher than the other, weight settled on her left leg with the right knee slightly bent, the frayed straw rope sash knotted low at her waist with both ends hanging loose past her hip and the tattered dark indigo kimono sagging open at the collar, its patched squares saddle-stitched across the sleeve and skirt, rust bleeding in brown-orange blooms along every hem and seam. Her head tips down and to her right, the tilt twisting her mouth into a soft, tender, maternal smile that does not touch her wide staring eyes, and she looks straight down past her own raised hand at the viewer. Her right hand lifts between her face and the lens, palm up, fingers splayed, and from every fingertip a long rusted iron nail pushes out through the flesh, while a scattered halo of sharp metallic needles hangs in the air a hand's breadth around her fingers, catching pinpricks of red light on their points and dropping small hard shadows onto her sleeve. Far behind her the fractured stained glass window stands in the tall wall, its lead cames split and panes missing so the broken shards throw two bundles of sharp crimson and purple light across the nave, one raking over the pews on the left and the other slicing across the floor beside her feet, and the rest of the church sinks into deep brown-black shadow; the only light sources are that stained glass and a weak grey daylight bleeding through a gap, and everything outside the two colour beams is swallowed in darkness. Metallic iron dust and rust particles drift through the beams in dense slow clouds, and they show up as bright specks only where the crimson and purple light catches them, thinning to nothing in the unlit air. The palette is a moody vintage anime wash of dark indigo, rust brown, and bruised crimson and purple struck against near-black shadow, flat cel shading with crisp hard shadow edges and fine detailed ink line art, no gloss on the fabric, no colour anywhere outside that range. Oppressive, unholy.
