A man, in a moment of quiet resignation, seems bound by the very jacket he wears. The garment appears to wrap around him like a straight jacket, constricting his movements and trapping him in immobility. But it is not just the man who is bound in this image. In the foreground, a small urban tree, is also tied up and bound and is a poignant symbol of how we are all constrained and limited by the hardships of life that are outside of our control.
Overall, this photograph is a haunting and thought-provoking work that captures the struggle of life and reminds us of how we are all bound and constrained by the world around us.
