A park bench, a place where lonely people sit, contemplate, cry?

 

A park bench itself is lonely, nailed to the floor and forced to endure the elements; it cannot move away from things beyond its control, like a human or human mind.

 

The images evoke a strong sense of loneliness/emptiness; no people can be seen; parks are meant to be experienced by people. The benches are personified; the only constant while the background changes from bench to bench, like each different person in the world has a different story, different feelings.

 

The fact that each background is obscured by the overlay represents how frantic the mind can get while faced with strong emotions; everything else in life is obscured and the only focus is pressing negative feelings of isolation; the feeling of being stuck in one place, unable to experience anything else.

 

The bench is a metaphor for a human, particularly the human mind, and the way one can feel stuck in one place, watching others go by with ease, and sometimes with a struggle, but unable to get involved and move yourself.
