The scene, located in Be’er-Sheva, Israel, presents a circular metallic ashtray filled to capacity with numerous extinguished cigarette butts. The butts are primarily composed of white or off-white paper filters, exhibiting varying degrees of charring and discoloration at their ends. Interspersed among the cigarette butts are loose grey ash and small dark fragments of tobacco. Some butts appear to be hand-rolled due to their irregular shape. The ashtray rests on a weathered wooden surface, which displays prominent grain, natural wear, and variations in tone from light brown to dark grey. The background above the ashtray is dark and out of focus. No individuals, direct actions, or interactions are visible.
