You see a black-and-white photo of a person sitting on a chair in a plain room. The shot is taken from the side, so half their face is in shadow. Light hits their cheek and the chair’s armrest. The photo isn’t staged or posed. It feels like a quick snapshot, not a portrait. The background is bare—a white wall and a closed door. The grainy print adds a rough, everyday feel.
