The (material) subject is a bench placed in front of the actors' backstage tent at the annual Shakespeare Festival in Vancouver, BC, either to accommodate smokers or to prevent unauthorized entry - I'm not sure which.

What prompted the photo was the dramatic scarcity of objects and a perceived timelessness of the scene. Perhaps it can be said that the emotional subject is a sort of contemplative drama void of action but aesthetically symbolic (the draped folds of the tent so suggestive of stage curtains). Thus the hue I chose for it...

I find it difficult to say much about so little, really. ;-)
(Thanks for your comment).

Very interesting shot. Would like to know a little bit more about it. I like the dark negative space below the bench, I sort of interpret that as the exit. Like a black hole sucking you in. The photo has a very edgy quality that appeals to me. Feels like it would make a good print that would invite conversation and deliberation.
