A single boat sails beyond the breakwater, distant from a sea of anchored vessels. In this quiet divide, contrasts emerge — movement vs stillness, solitude vs crowd, freedom vs routine, abundance vs scarcity. Each viewer may find a different truth: a journey chosen or forced, a symbol of escape or exclusion. The image invites reflection, not just on what we see—but on what we bring to it. The photo was taken in Chicago, US.
