This photograph is an abstract and somewhat disturbing image, dominated by dark tones and bright, wavy lines in teal. It appears to be a digital manipulation or effect that distorts a face "".
The background is deep black, which strongly contrasts and highlights the cyan elements. Scattered across this dark background are horizontal, wavy and distorted lines and shapes, creating a sense of movement, distortion or glitch. Amid these abstract elements, the suggestion of a face can be vaguely seen, although it is very patchy and distorted. There are hints of eyes, a nose and a mouth, but these are completely "scrambled" and unrecognisable as a human face.
The overall atmosphere is that of chaos, digitisation, horror or surrealism. It can evoke associations with digital disturbances, nightmares or a mutated reality.
