The lower portion shows the grey-brown concrete or metal of the smoke stack, contrasting with a dark, indistinct background at its base. The lighting is soft and diffuse, typical of an overcast day, with no harsh shadows or bright highlights, contributing to the dreary mood. A Spanish text overlay in white, sans-serif font appears in the middle of the frame: 'Los residentes de Wilmington no deberían tener que escoger entre trabajos bien pagos y la salud y seguridad de sus familias.'

The surrounding area is densely packed with residential buildings and streets, emphasizing the proximity of the industry to residential zones. The lighting is soft and diffused due to the overcast conditions, resulting in a muted, slightly desaturated color palette dominated by grays, whites, and the muted green of scattered vegetation.
