- Description:
- A young, light skinned woman, with her hair under a cap, and plucked eyebrows, wearing eye liner and lipstick, and a short-sleeved uniform looks intently at liquid streaming into a machine she's using. The machine is in the foreground and the entire left side of the frame, it has a smooth head and a lever. below the head is a flexible looking pipe spraying liquid onto the center of the machine. The work surface of the machine is round, with large nuts and boltheads and bars on top of it; a light-colored liquid seems to be dripping out of its sides and pooling on the lip of the machine. The worker is leaning forward onto the mahine, unfazed.
