This is freakin_hilarious on the garage floor. He is expressing "Loss" for the picture. There's a shop light on the floor just beyond the left bottom corner of the image, and a couple of overhead lights as well. I shot this from a stepstool.

expressive coil of body counterposed by expressive straight line with varying highlight, further complicated by a curving stain in the floor. It doesn't necessarily say "loss" to me but it does say "photography". 9
Good choice of surface in terms of colour, texture and geometry of the slab edges. Muted and dark colours contribute to the feeling of sadness and despair.
