The most prominent thing about the portrait is that the individual is wearing earbuds. His head is turned to the side as if he’s distracted from the fact that he’s in an interaction with another person in real life. The whole time Alfred Conteh was interacting with D’mon, this young man never took his earbuds out. He implied to Conteh that he might have been using a feature that allows people to listen to ambient noise through earbuds, but he was acting distracted the whole time, as though he really wasn't listening.2of 2
