I mean, I can make sense of it, but it's written like it's describing a picture or something. As a standalone sentence, it is weird.

I can't. It is a subject without a predicate. It doesn't look like valid English to my eyes.
Yes, it's a subject without a predicate. So it's not a complete sentence.

That doesn't mean it doesn't make sense. Let's say there's an image with the caption "A man looking at a fish in a tank." That's similarly a subject without a predicate, but it still makes sense as a photo caption.

or a headline about coercion. even that would be "forces"
