This gearbox drive once powered the bucket elevator that fed dust to the kilns, keeping the production cycle in motion. Now, with the plant silent, the dust has claimed its own territory, creeping over surfaces, seeping into every seam, and swallowing the edges of the machinery like a slow-moving tide.
It lingers in the air, clinging to the past long after the last load was lifted. Light filters through the grates above, casting rhythmic shadows over the worn metal, a reminder of the precision that once defined this space.
With its striking textures and interplay of light and shadow, this print captures the quiet weight of time, making it an evocative addition to any collection.
