About this print
A decaying doctors surgery.
Brett Patman
The series
Graffiti & Urban Decay
Buildings don't stay empty. Once the owners leave, somebody else arrives. Walls that were blank become a record of who came through and when. Graffiti isn't vandalism on these surfaces , it's the only remaining evidence that anyone cared enough to be here.Urban spaces mid-collapse. The gap between what a building was built for and what it became.
Print sizes
