Original photo by @khrystyna.dymyd with illustration by @lucaslevitan Photo Invasion is my Instagram project. I add my drawing and unveil hidden stories. Benches of Madrid. "For those who like looking without truly seeing, walking without thinking and see themselves as mere useful cogs – benches are, in fact, useless objects in a big city. However, for many Spanish people, benches are the last paradise for contemplation and hope in places where there is no time for such 'waste'. Benches are an invitation to stop. They are a place to turn our backs to cars, buses and motorbikes and watch inwards. Benches take us to invisible places inside our heads. They help us watch passers-by as if we are watching a movie. A movie featuring real, everyday characters. And those sitting are actors as well. They become both audience to and player in a huge live theatre. The drama is built frame by frame, minute by minute. This is the way that life passes for those who contemplate the invisible. The bench helps us to look outwards to the city and inwards to ourselves, and to watch the great cinema that is the city. And a city like Madrid is full of amazing stories." This illustration celebrates Madrid. I was invited to be part of a community and share places I like around the world on www.citylikeyou.com .
