29 January 2025

In Herrsching, Starnberg, Upper Bavaria, Bavaria, Germany, on November 8, 2020, an elderly woman in a thick coat and headscarf pulls a red-dotted shopping cart as she walks past a graffiti-covered urban structure. The scene captures the contrast between aging and modern decay in the city, with warning signs on the doors, electricity boxes covered in tags, and a worn façade. The themes of loneliness, urban life, and resilience in a barren cityscape are emphasized.

An Iranian actress checks her make-up before she performs in the play titled 'The Sier' at the Shahrzad Theater complex in downtown Tehran, Iran, on January 24, 2025. 'The Sier' is about people living in an imaginary land that is actually a huge prison, where they are prisoners. A dictator who rules over them has taken away their powers of sight and thought and given them a key that they believe will open a door leading to freedom.
