Inside the former Nichitsu Mining Village, a rusted metal table stands at the centre of a room once used as a surgery. A large section of the ceiling has collapsed, opening the room to the sky. Moss spreads across the concrete floor, debris and broken glass gather at the edges, and graffiti covers the plaster on one wall.

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.
