Description

This foreboding sunset derrick in the desolate foothills sits under a darkened sky. Waiting for his shift to end, the unreflective foreman stands unflinchingly by the gruesome scene. The cracked sky emotes our disgust with this modern so-called necessity. But the sky also renders a type of sad beauty to the blue-collar backdrop.
