Blight in progress


Urban blight
When I did the first research about the meaning of blight I wasn’t really convinced about the theme, but in a second time I discovered “urban blight” and that was exactly my business! “Urban blight” is matching perfectly with what I’m working on at the moment.
There are so many buildings around that are falling in decay because they are no more in use or simply nobody has the financial power or will to reconstruct them, in addition often this buildings are used like free galleries for graffiti artists, that on my opinion add interest! But obviously not everybody would agree with that.

  1. This is wonderful and the ambiguity of "is it beauty or a blight?" makes this all the more powerful. Well done!
