There is something engaging about a ruin its dilapidation and decline a lost treasure in decay. Inspired by the light burning through the old window I’ve tried to show layers in the landscape. Looking at a large dewdrop we can nearly see a separate world. In a similar way colours twinkle separately on the cobweb that drags down under the weight of the dew. Ivy begins to take over consuming that which was once a wall built with pride. The wall signifies a barrier to the world beyond it. The ruin yet another and the receding colours of the landscape and beyond to the world and the stars in the sky
