Shot from a low worm's-eye angle on a rain-slicked neon alley, a single girl stands off-center against the vertical glow of the signs, her platform shoes planted wide apart on the wet asphalt, right heel lifted, weight on the left foot. An enormous orange pumpkin sits over her head like a helmet, its ribbed shell swallowing her crown and temples, the carved eye-holes dark slabs cut into the rind, a short curled stem at the very top. Her right hand reaches up and grips the stem, forearm passing in front of the pumpkin's face; her left hand hangs loose at her hip, black nails curled, a thin bandage wrapped around her forearm. Her black lace-trimmed blouse sits over the plaid pleated mini skirt; the bow at her collar rests against her collarbone. One knee is bent, the other leg straight, the thigh-high socks hugging each leg tight. Her chin tilts down, and through the carved holes her eyes look straight down at the viewer, half-lidded, and the lower half of her face shows a small lopsided smirk. Neon signs press close on both walls: magenta on the left, teal on the right, both bleeding down the wood of the shutters and the vertical facades, their Japanese lettering warped to near-illegible by the low angle. Rain falls as fine streaks; where the drops strike the wet street, faint reflection circles spread out under the light. The light comes from the signs, and the pumpkin is a caught reflector: its upward-facing ribs and the stem catch magenta and teal on their top faces while the underside and the carved eye openings stay deep black; the same two colors land on her cheeks, her collarbone and along the folds of her skirt, and the platform shoes throw short hard shadows on the wet ground. The palette is confined to magenta, teal, black, and the orange of the pumpkin, with the pale skin and the white bandage the only other light values. Neon-noir, cold and electric.
