In this photo Kyle Thompson purposely included a field of red balloons across a river as form of frame around himself due to the balloons unordinary nature. These red balloons framing Kyle Thompson in the middle of a river standing nonchalantly in four piece suit appearing despondent are two item of the photo are culturally paradoxical. This due to balloons being associated with joy and excitement and the emotion Kyle Thompson shows is the opposite of this assumption help with balloons.
