This is a Russian soldier playing an abandoned piano in Chechnya in 1994. The composition is very captivating, it suggests a curious and complex story. Is he alone in that forest? If nobody's there to hear the sound of the piano, can we consider that he is actually playing it? I appreciate the contrast of texture present in this picture. Gloomy and forsaken background almost completely blended with soldier's uniform juxtaposing the maroon piano wood with its gloss and luster. It's hard to imagine how that piano would sound in such an abandoned environment. The more I look at this photo, the more I wonder about the story behind it.
