This photo suggests trouble in paradise - friction between a nefarious-looking
suburb and a tired human. Trapped in a window high in a brick edifice, a visibly defeated man, surveys his severe domestic environment. The sharp lines and dark corporate
colours of the suburban houses are reflected in his business-like dress –the uniform
of the atomic father. There are hints of conflict; his rolled up
sleeves, loose tie, a cup of coffee, and cigarette. Above his head, the disorderly branches of a
bare tree are reflected and superimposed over his po-faced house.
