A horizontally oriented black-and-white photograph is dominated by intersecting diagonal beams in front of a wall of square panels. Strands of barbed wire cut across the foreground, while a bright, circular flare of light glows from behind a vertical post, casting a horizontal streak. Dark, blurred shapes obscure the bottom edge, where piles of stone rubble are scattered across the ground at the base of the structure.
