For four years, I returned to the Topography of Terror museum in Berlin, standing with my camera poised at a single aperture—a hole in the Berlin Wall. Through this gap, I framed fleeting moments of humanity: passersby, shadows, and movements that transformed this fragment of history into a living, breathing narrative.

28 Images of the Berlin Wall explores the interplay of hiding and revealing, of what is visible and what remains obscured. The Wall, once a symbol of division, became in my work a lens through which to examine connection, perspective, and the ways in which we engage with history’s physical remnants.

Each photograph captures a transient glimpse: a figure emerging into view, a face partially hidden, or an outline dissolving into light. These images are not merely records of strangers but reflections on the passage of time, the scars of separation, and the resilience of human stories.

The project’s title nods to the Wall’s 28-year existence, intertwining the fixed timeline of its history with the fluid, dynamic lives of those who now move freely around it. The hole in the Wall is both a void and a portal, a space that frames not only the people within it but the profound legacy of what once stood in its place.

Through 28 Images of the Berlin Wall, I invite viewers to consider how we perceive, engage with, and reflect upon spaces shaped by conflict, memory, and transformation. The Wall, even in its fragmented form, continues to reveal as much about the present as it does about the past.
