Claustrophobia in a Snapshot

This photo portrays claustrophobia, in which the victim is overwhelmed with the feeling of being trapped, usually confined within a small area, with no obvious means of escape. This feeling is conveyed through the character placing his hands against the sides of the cubicle reflecting the small area, as well as his desire to push the walls apart and escape. The general colour in the photo is dark, with his coat blending into the background as if he is part of the setting. This suggests he could be seen as part of the furniture, heightening the desire he holds to escape before he becomes trapped forever, and is firmly part of the setting.
