The darkened cloud in the background in front of the chair almost don't look like clouds at all, but more like a human figure. A shadow? A ghost? It's a memory, but the way the figure is broken in the middle suggests that it's a false memory that was never real to begin with. It's ficticious, something made up entirely by the very person looking at the chair. It wouldn't be them sitting in the chair, it would be someone else. His lover, or someone he wishes was his lover.
Looking at it as thought the chair represents a person: It's a rocking chair in the middle of a grassy field. Rocking chairs are supposed to represent comfort, yet it's in a place it shouldn't be. It doesn't belong outside, and yet it's comfortable there. It shows that a person can be comfortable with not fitting in with the norm. If it's where they feel they belong, they belong there. At the same time, the angle of the photo makes it seem as though the chair is sliding down a hill. Downwards into unhappiness? Oblivion? The rocking chair might actually be not as comfortable as originally thought. And the fact that it's where it doesn't belong is making it unhappy. It's in black and white, suggesting a melancholy and drab lifestyle. The bleak weather and clouds in the background only add to this.
