The Bench in the City
On a quiet street corner, a red bench turns into a silent stall, a space between survival and abandonment. Clothes and belongings are laid out for sale, while the city continues beyond the fence, distant, indifferent. This photograph reflects the quiet struggle of being seen and unseen at once in the heart of urban life.
