This reminds me of a cool song with a really good groove. The kind of song everyone likes to hear, but no one really knows the lyrics. The "Louie Louie" effect.

Your instincts are bang-on. Much more effective this way. To ID him would indeed have been tantamount to poverty-porn. Also, we would have looked away after about 1 second. Your revelation of what the 'cord' is...so incredibly poignant. God help us all. Frighteningly easy to get from here to there.

Another great trick of suspension. Suggestion, innuendo, tension tension tension. The stillness vs. motion/urban frenzy.
It looks like a reclining ape (the two eyes) or man (the two eyes). Of course it's bags of something, shopping/refuse?
We can't know for sure. Nor can we know if the cord leading to (or from?) the mass is a fuse. Will the ape/man/material goods/refuse explode in our face?? Some people live in this state of insecurity and suspended terror every day. Garo, u rock, u rule!

Yours is such a fertile mind Anna. He is a homeless man who exists not far from where I do. The cord you refer to is a path marked by his urine. The image is in negative and I hope this abstracts the scenario from him being a particular man to him being any man - or woman. Such a state is not difficult to get to as life can and does sweep the carpet from under people's feet. I would have found actual imagery somewhat pornographic and far less suggestive.
