The image depicts Richard Mosse's photograph titled *Softball Stadium, Hellinikon Olympic Complex*. The scene is a black-and-white panoramic view of an abandoned stadium, likely part of the now-dilapidated Hellinikon Olympic Complex in Athens. Rows of empty seats surround a field overtaken by tents, suggesting its current use as a refugee camp, reflecting Mosse's focus on human displacement and conflict. The stark contrast between the former glory of the Olympic venue and its present state captures themes of decay, abandonment, and the ongoing refugee crisis.
