ENTRY DESCRIPTION
The image depicts humanity's longing for advancement in a changing society: numerous ladders lead to a city high above – a symbol of personal and social progress, but one that appears steep, narrow and unattainable for many. The city symbolises isolation and distance between the individual and society, between everyday reality and an idealised goal.
