Funny - if this was a tiled marbled hall the suspense would be completely different. Here it feels like something not so good might happen. Love the light and textures. the leading lines "forced" by the grid really accentuates the pull on the figure.
Interesting way to depict the passage of time, through the use of the legs with shadow and the title. I looked at the grate first, then my eye moved upward to the walker.
