“Dreaming of a real canopy bed and overflowing breadbaskets.”
Photographed in Hamburg’s Schanzenviertel, Rote Flora – between subculture, longing, and social reality.

A person sleeps on a staircase, nestled on crates, covered in blankets – and hope. All around: graffiti, trash, improvised life. Next to them stands a potted tree – almost surreally tidy amid the makeshift.

The bread crates, once filled with food that fed someone, now carry the weight of a human life. The urban space becomes a bedroom, a threshold between visibility and neglect.

This image speaks of surviving with dignity in a situation that offers none. It asks: how much imagination does it take to picture a home in the midst of cold and noise?

Between the longing for safety and the reality of scarcity remains a quiet dream – of a canopy bed, of a breadbasket, of belonging.
