In the picture, we see a man concentrating on taking a picture with his smartphone. He is standing at the edge of the pavement, just outside a building with a modern architectural style: clean lines, light natural stone and red brick. The facade vaguely shows that this is part of the University of Oxford. The man is wearing a dark blue jacket, jeans and sturdy shoes. A black backpack hangs on his back, indicating that he may be a tourist or visitor exploring the city.
The composition of the photo emphasises the contrast between the imposing university buildings and the everyday activity of a passer-by trying to capture his memories. The sunny weather provides bright colours and clear shadows, making the scene look lively and energetic. The presence of the modern building underlines the versatility of Oxford: a city known not only for its historic colleges and classical architecture, but also for its contemporary appeal.
The sculpture evokes associations with travel, discovery and the value of personal memories. Here, a small, everyday gesture - taking a photograph - becomes a symbolic moment in which past and present come together in the context of an ancient university.
