Berlin Out of Focus

“Berlin Out of Focus” captures blurred urban impressions to explore identity in motion. As city lights dissolve into abstraction, each image becomes a mirror of emotional disorientation and the search for self in the modern world.

“Berlin Out of Focus” is a photographic series exploring the search for identity through the urban landscape. Captured in Berlin during evening hours, the images use blur, abstraction, and distortion to express the inner sensation of emotional disorientation and introspection. Rather than documenting the city, the series reflects how it feels to move through it — uncertain, flickering, in constant motion. Each photograph becomes a mirror, not of Berlin’s reality, but of a personal state of being. Architectural forms dissolve into waves of light and shadow, evoking the question: how do we find clarity in the complexity of modern life? Can the chaos of the city help us see ourselves more clearly, or does it make us even more invisible? In these images, losing visual focus becomes a metaphor for self-exploration. The boundary between outside and inside blurs, turning each frame into a poetic reflection of the quiet, unresolved search for self in the noise of the contemporary world.
