Metal Container
2000

A black and white photograph of a crumpled and damaged metal container with various holes and tears throughout its structure, suggesting it has been through an extreme impact or explosion. The texture of the metal is rough and uneven, with some areas appearing shredded or frayed. The background is nondescript and does not provide additional context for the object's condition or origin.
