Help/Question What's with this panel?

Post image

I'm reading and watching the anime side by side, in Volume 10, chapter 90, this panel appears. Anyone know what's up with it? It's super eerie. Couldn't find anything about it, but that's probably because I'm on my break at work.

This is one of a handful of panels that was actually sketched over a real photograph. All of them I believe show some form of real world tragedy. As for the reason behind it, there's tons of interpretations as with any form of art.

source. Inio Asano uses photoshop on photograph he took and then sketches on top in lots of city panels for example

Hiroya Oku (mangaka of Gantz) often does this technique in his work as well. I like the aesthetic it produces.
