The image is a black and white photograph of a man sitting on a concrete staircase. He is shirtless and appears to be in his late twenties or early thirties. The man is holding a telephone receiver to his ear and is looking down at it with a serious expression on his face. The staircase is surrounded by trees and plants, and there is a potted plant on the right side of the image. The overall mood of the photograph is somber and contemplative.
