A horizontally oriented black-and-white photograph depicts rows of empty wooden seats angling toward the background of an indoor stadium. In the foreground, a man in a suit stands on our right, while a blurred profile appears on our left. In the middle ground, a solitary figure slumps forward, head resting on a seat. Behind them, people congregate near railings draped with striped banners beneath tiered spectator seating.
