The image depicts a group of figurines and objects of diverse scales and materiality, surrounding a “photographer” (a toy bear holding a camera). This chaotic situation, repeated in a mirror image and documented by the photographer, acts as a metaphor for an aspect of humanity that disregards the space and the needs of others and accepts without questioning a disruptive reality.
