The image is a black and white photograph of an escalator in a shopping mall. The escalator is in the center of the image and is facing towards the right side of the frame. The background is dark and the escalator appears to be empty, with no people or other objects visible. The image is taken from a low angle, looking up towards the top of the escalators. There is a sign on the wall on the left side that reads "Museum of Modern Art" and a few lights hanging from the ceiling. The overall mood of the photograph is somber and contemplative.
