| Signage: | A man is being arrested in front of his simple shack home by three policemen, who have arrived in a police car. The humble figure appears helpless compared to threatening, overpowering police officers. The starkness and sharp focus of the image, where each element is isolated and clearly outlined against the bare, white background, reinforces the harsh and unforgiving nature of the scene. |
