Participants-Monkeys
Recipient-Man

In this picture, it shows the monkeys scooping the man's brain and feasting bit by bit, leaving him in great pain. The man appears to be helpless, but only to resign to his fate. Accepting that he got to end his life in such a way.

It happens in a dilapidated alley which is old and dark. In my opinion, the setting is set at a dilapidated alley because it is a ritual or culture of the past.

The way the author took the picture give us a feeling like as if the man was staring at us. Taking a photo at an eye level gave us a feeling as if we are part of photo. Like we were there at that moment witnessing the horrifying event.

The message given to us is that put yourself in others people's shoe, treat them the way you wants to be treat. The ritual is a reverse of human eating monkey brains.
