Bringing Life to Ruins

Again I took to the streets of my city but this time to explore a more conventional setting; the famous historic ruins. Water colours are perfect for hinting at the green decaying stone. Ruins to me represent a dying past and artificial conquering of the environment. Being interested in sustainability I thought it would be interesting to look at how the setting could be juxtaposed with new life and natural structures. Although the complete opposite of ruins, these flowers mimic the shape of the ruins and therefore sparked my interest into how nature can be integrated with our artificial surroundings.
