The image displays a light-colored, textured wall, likely painted white or light grey. Printed on the lower central portion of the wall in dark grey or black sans-serif font is a quotation followed by an artist attribution. The text reads: "Memory and archive are two concepts that coincide and form one great stream of images in my mind; images from newspapers of political conflicts and their disruptive consequences, prosaic images of everyday objects and experiences, images from art history. It is the ever-recurring horror and beauty that we, as human beings, do not understand, yet of which we are a part. My work is always a deposit, a sediment, of how I look at the world, question and absorb it. At a certain point it all has to come out again, take shape, become a new image. Otherwise I would explode." Below the quotation, the name "Berlinde De Bruyckere" is displayed. A distinct diagonal shadow or darker illumination crosses the upper left quadrant of the wall, suggesting directional lighting from an external source or a ceiling fixture. No people, specific objects other than the wall and text, or interactions are visible. The scene is an interior, indicative of an art gallery, museum, or exhibition space in the city of Paris, France, though the exact location within the city is not identifiable from the image content.
