03 THE STORY

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.

04 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.
