A photo of a weathered bronze statue on a desolate hilltop with the ocean and sky in the background. The statue is of a cloaked male figure, wearing a crown and holding a sword pointing toward the ground beneath him. The figure is hooded and his face can't be seen. The statue is designed so that large portions of it are missing, creating negative space which the surrounding landscape can be seen through, giving the figure a ghostly appearance.
