Still life

A greenhouse is visible to his left outside of the Panasonic Auditorium where he sits and listens to Nicole deliver a talk.  Nicole is thin and lean. Her cheeks are bony, her arms and legs long and skinny. She wears horn-rimmed glasses which look much too large on her small face. A number of plants and shrubs in black plastic pots are outlined along the outer crystal wall of the greenhouse. Their leaves are a deep green. The air is moist and heavy, the rainy season is soon due to start. Nicole talks about parameter estimation meanwhile. The exterior scene could look like a commonplace still life drawing yet it somehow displays a flawless harmony. On stage, discriminating among equations of state is keeping Nicole busy.
