04 FROM THE FIELD NOTES

A collapsed awning sags at a steep angle across the loading dock, its sheeting buckled and grey with grime. Steel columns rise two storeys. The upper level shows pale cladding tagged with blue and green graffiti. Windows sit dark and open. Corrugated iron walls are streaked with rust. Rubble, broken timber and industrial debris cover the concrete floor. A thin blade of light cuts through a gap in the far wall.

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.
