This is a black-and-white photo of a broken sculpture. The pieces are scattered on the ground, with a few branches and dirt visible. The shape looks like a seated figure, maybe a person, but it’s cracked into chunks. The photo was taken to document damage, likely after an accident. The edges of the pieces are sharp and uneven, showing where it split. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more objects like this.
