Within Kuwashima Orthopaedic Clinic, the former drying room reveals its decay. Peeling paint strips from the walls, exposing the building's skeletal past. A lone washing machine, left behind, gathers dust and rust. Faint light enters through a grimy window.

About this print
A quiet, empty room where walls and ceiling bear the marks of years of neglect. Rolling screens, once providing privacy for patients or examinations, now stand unused, their fabric gathering dust in the stillness.
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.
