This black-and-white photo shows a person kneeling on a cobblestone sidewalk, scrubbing the pavement with a rag. A handwritten sign in front of them reads in Czech, asking passersby to avoid stepping on that spot. Around them, a group of people in winter coats stand nearby, watching. The photo looks like it was taken on the street, with a mix of old buildings and pavement. The person’s focus on cleaning a small area suggests something important was there—or is being erased.
