About the artwork

Step into the world of past glory with 'Silent Witnesses: Twin Trams in Oblivion', a powerful wall decoration that captures the beauty of decay. This picture shows two weathered trams, once identical and inseparable in service, now resting silently side by side under a forgiving sky. The fading colours, the layers of peeling paint, and the slowly rusting bodies tell a story of a once vibrant life now replaced by a serene calm.

The composition of the photograph leads the eye to the symmetry of the two trams and the shared history they seem to discuss in their eternal repose. The inspiration for this image was drawn from the charm of dilapidated structures and the poetry they exude; an ode to the invisible bonds objects can form with each other over time.

The mood of the sculpture is both nostalgic and contemplative, a tribute to the inevitable passage of time and the traces it leaves behind. It invites the viewer to explore their own thoughts on impermanence and the cycles of life.

This work is purely photographed, without invasive techniques, to preserve the authenticity of the scene. It is the unique patina of decay that gives this work its character and makes it a special addition to any space.

In an interior, this work brings a deep layer of character and conversation, ideal for those who appreciate the aesthetics of the imperfect and want to embrace a piece of history. Whether in an industrially designed loft or a rustic living room, these 'Silent Witnesses' will leave an indelible impression.
