Portrait of a young boy posing inside a wrecked car in a junkyard. The boy lies on his back on the front seat, with his head, shoulders, and arms handing out the front passenger side, which is missing its door. His arms are straight out above his head, and his eyes and mouth are wide open. The junkyard is a sea of totaled cars, steel oil drums, and old rubber tires, and large commercial silos or tanks can be seen scattered around the industrial landscape in the background.
