The picture shows a shattered brick wall that opens up a view of a narrow, weathered alleyway. The roughly broken bricks lying in chaotic heaps at the base of the wall convey the feeling of a sudden and violent intervention. The red brick, from which remnants of the mortar still hang in some places, stands in stark contrast to the gloomy alleyway running into the background. The light in the distance suggests that the alley continues endlessly, while debris and rubbish lie scattered on the ground, emphasising the decay and neglect of the surroundings.
The depth of perspective draws the viewer into the picture, as if they could step into the opening themselves. The brick wall, which dominates the foreground, is shifted into the background by focussing on the alley. This pictorial combination of narrowness and openness, of obstacle and breakthrough, lends the work a dynamic tension. It is reminiscent of urban change and decay, of the breaking of boundaries, both physically and metaphorically.
