The chair’s design is simple and sturdy, further cementing the notion of power and permanence. The backdrop is minimal and dark, which focuses the attention on the character and the chair, giving the viewer a sense of isolation or the vacuum of power. The entity depicted is a skeletal figure, which is immediately recognizable as the iconic representation of death known as the Grim Reaper. The skull, visible within the hood of a dark cloak, conveys the absence of life and humanity. The hands are delicate, almost fragile, yet they grip the scythe with an assurance that speaks to the character's purpose and power.
