Rehabilitation Waiting Room

Kaga, Ishikawa, Japan · Photographed in Kaga, 2016

The rehabilitation waiting area at Kuwashima Hospital shows years of neglect. Peeling paint covers the walls, while dust settles thick upon forgotten chairs and medical charts. Sunlight filters through grimy windows, illuminating the quiet decay.

About this print

The bench along the wall, meant for patients awaiting treatment, is now coated in dust and mildew. A single chair remains in the centre of the room, its cushion flattened, its wheels frozen in place. Printed with museum-grade precision on archival paper, preserving every texture and shadow in detail.

From the field notes

Piles of bound books fill most of the space, stacked neatly yet untouched for years. This room, once a waiting area for the rehabilitation ward, has long since succumbed to time and neglect.

— Brett Patman
