Familiar surroundings

Photography offers a possiblity to register exterior views of the external aspect of the world. Sometimes photographs are witnesses of changes, exterior changes... My surrodings, like a great part of Poland, during my lifetime has underwent radical changes. Some of them were immediate, other appeared more gradually.
But at the end: what did really change around me?
- my shop now is well provided, no more empty shelfs
- I have a animal vet next door
- the estate is quite colourful thanks to the UE standards on heating expenses
These are those external changes.
But I really belive that changes were deeper. I am quite sure they are. If not, I wouldn't have been in Florence last week trying to pass exams for a PhD course.
How to show the transition? Maybe it would be visible behind the wals of people's appartments?
Maybe it is impossible to capture them with a camera...
