About this print
Control knobs on a piece of rehabilitation equipment now sit coated in dust, their function lost to time. Once carefully adjusted to aid patient recovery, they remain untouched, frozen in a state of quiet decay.
Brett Patman
The series
Kuwashima Hospital
Kuwashima Hospital sits in Yubari, on the island of Hokkaido in northern Japan. The town's population peaked above one hundred thousand in the 1960s and has since fallen below seven thousand. The hospital is abandoned.
