Description

An elderly man dressed as Uncle Sam in red, white, and blue striped trousers, jacket, and top hat is seated on a red vinyl chair in what appears to be a school hallway or polling station with pale blue cinderblock walls. Water splashes dynamically from a galvanized metal bucket held by an off-camera person, crashing near the man who leans back with his eyes closed. The floor is blue speckled tile, and posters including a classic 'I Want You To Vote' Uncle Sam poster hang on the wall. The lighting is bright and direct, capturing the high-speed splash effect cleanly.
