“Achieving something real with your own ideas.” Photographed in Berlin – on an ordinary day in an extraordinary reality.

In front of a billboard promising self-fulfillment and upward mobility, a person lies on the sidewalk – wrapped in a blanket. The advertisement speaks of success. The pavement speaks of the present. Two worlds – separated only by a few centimeters of wall – collide without touching.

This image speaks of the social tension running through our cities: between advertising and reality, between stories of rising and realities of falling. It doesn’t point fingers – but it does raise questions: Who gets seen? Who gets left behind? And what are we, as a society, willing to accept?
