What are we waiting for and does it even exist?

For this photo I was inspired by the following two quotes about the existentialism by Friedrich Nietzsche and Albert Camus:

"It is a folly to pretend intelligence when standing before the abyss, for the abyss neither notices nor cares, and all that remains is the echo of our own vanity. „

"To insist on being realistic in a world governed by uncertainty is itself an act of absurdity, for the only certainty is that nothing is ever truly certain."

In this photo I wanted to depict the essence of absurdity and existential uncertainty along with profound emptiness and meaninglessness of existence. The empty, worn-out chair—repaired countless times—stands as a meeting point between absence and presence. It occupies a space once filled with purpose. Its shadow reflects its form but distorts it thus reflecting the distortions in our perception, questioning the validity of what we think we know, representing the struggle to find meaning in the midst of absurdity.
