D158 The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe

The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe is located at a street corner south of the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin. It consists of 2,711 concrete blocks commemorating the Jewish victims of the Holocaust. The concrete blocks are arranged in a grid-like pattern, with the same length and width but varying heights. Walking through the memorial's interior creates a sense of being lost in a disorienting and oppressive environment. According to the original designer's intent, the memorial aims to evoke a feeling of unease and disturbance. However, everyone's perspective on viewing artwork can differ. Since its opening in 2005, opinions about the design of this memorial have been mixed.
Your photo of this art installation, with the lone figure, is extremely evocative.
