The body language and facial expression conveys exasperation/stress and exhaustion/burnout.
The long shot with the subject’s back against a wall implies escapism, a momentary reprieve.
The voyeurism suggested by the telephoto zoom on an isolated subject implies you are witnessing a secret, internal feeling that they keep from others.
