A pawn gazes into a mirror, envisioning itself as a queen. The image beautifully captures the essence of dreams and expectations, illustrating the universal journey from humble beginnings to lofty ambitions. The blurred cityscape background emphasizes the contrast between the present reality and the envisioned future, reminding us that with perseverance and vision, transformation is possible. This visual metaphor speaks to the power of hope and the endless possibilities that lie within our dreams. This photo was taken in Warsaw on «Pentax KX» with 50mm lens, on «Kodak Ultramax 400» film.
