A doomed prisoner.

A thought provoking shot Andy.(y)
 
I like that you've gone for a wide shot that effectively recreates the room. The mono treatment give it an air of bleakness.
 
I like the image.
Needs some context though.
 
Thanks I kind of agree

But I wanted only to show a bit of light, consistent with the tiny bit of hope of survival they would have had. Also the feeling of isolation.

The bleakness of the room was hard to imagine.

It was taken at Tuol Sleng.
 
Just skimming the Wiki entry on Tuol Sleng makes me shudder and IMO your shot doesn't even begin to show the horrors that appear to have gone on there. Put a mattress and bedclothes on the bed and it could almost be a boarding school dormitory in need of decoration!

Yes horrendous and one's mind cannot even imagine what has gone on there. I have been unlucky to see the aftermath of genocide, but nothing to that degree.
