Artist, British, born 1965

The image depicts a person standing in a run-down industrial space, likely an old factory or warehouse. The individual is shown in profile, standing upright with hands on their midsection and looking forward. Their facial features are obscured by angle and lighting, but they appear to have dark, possibly tied-back hair. The person is wearing dark clothing that contrasts with the light beams shining through the roof. There are debris, old metal structures, and potentially abandoned vehicles in the background. The setting features battered walls with peeling paint, contributing to an overall atmosphere of neglect. Rays of sunlight stream through the damaged roof, illuminating dust in the air.
