The metaphoricity of the image is off the scale.
It is clear that this is a prison, but it is designed in a classical style, has a rounded window, such as are found in palaces or churches, and the figure of a man who has not yet entered the cage.
I would call this photo "Freedom of a man sitting in a cage."
But what a paradox - a person makes a choice in a world that is itself a prison.
It turned out to be a whole philosophy.

Turn in the door once and turn once only
We think of the key, each in his prison
Thinking of the key, each confirms a prison”
