EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Mike Maloney takes us back to the heart of Berlin in 1984, a time when the city was still divided by the infamous Berlin Wall. The image captures a striking scene where the imposing wall seamlessly merges with residential houses on either side of the road, serving as a stark reminder of the physical and emotional barriers that once separated East and West Berlin. The composition is both powerful and thought-provoking, showcasing how ordinary lives were directly impacted by political decisions. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are reminded of the immense divide that existed within families, communities, and even architecture during this tumultuous era. The contrasting elements in this photograph speak volumes about life in East Berlin at that time. On one hand, we see an apartment building adorned with colorful facades - perhaps an attempt to bring vibrancy amidst adversity. On the other hand, there is no escaping the towering presence of concrete that looms over these homes like an unwelcome guest. This image serves as a poignant landmark for reflection on past politics and serves as a testament to human resilience in times of struggle. It invites us to contemplate not only physical walls but also those invisible divisions that continue to shape our world today. Through Mike Maloney's lens, we are transported back to an important chapter in history – reminding us never to forget how far we have come towards unity and understanding.
