Night Portrait of Elder with Frostbite Scars

by Arianna Whitehead

Harsh fluorescent light bleaches the skin tones of an elderly man centered in a tight close-up. Deep frostbite scars map the bridge and tip of his nose, creating a rough, pale texture against darker skin. The background dissolves into a shimmering heat haze, suggesting the humid monsoon air of Bujumbura at night. His eyes remain fixed and attentive, reflecting the sterile overhead glow without squinting. Sweat beads on his upper lip and forehead, glistening under the electric tubes. Behind him, the air distorts the faint outlines of a room, blurring the boundary between the subject and the dark space. at the edge is a sharp, white scar ridge running across the nostril.
