This is basically a very modern image, to my eye. We see this sort of thing a fair bit these days, minimalist images that border on the abstract, despite being clearly depictions of a thing. This is a particularly good example of the form, since the photographer does not appear to be deliberately reaching for the banal. For which we should thank him.
