The Trace

An old street that will be demolished, the mottled walls witness the information left to it by the years and record the city's changes and development. Young people bow their heads, middle-aged women walk fast and pass by, and working people with helpless, numb eyes. Time flows in the scene, and the faces that pass by are fleeting, detached from the memories the wall holds. Humans are no longer subjects but objects and everything in front of the wall has become its background.
