Construction helmets open into small islands surrounded by the sounds of traffic.

The story
Construction helmets open into small islands surrounded by the sounds of traffic. A visible disruption forces immediate action, a second consequence changes the route through the world, and the final image leaves one specific unresolved choice. Local weather, labor, architecture and sound remain dramatic forces rather than decoration.
