Title: Swedish Abandonment: Old Cars in the Woods
Description:
This photograph takes you to an enchanting place, deep in the forests of Sweden: the famous car graveyard of Bastnäs. My inspiration came from a fascination with how nature takes back what man has created. Here you see a classic car, whose roof and even the bonnet are completely overgrown with a vibrant layer of moss. Behind this car, you catch a glimpse of another, lighter car that is also slowly disappearing into the greenery. Its broken windows and rusty spots tell stories of a distant past.
The mood I set with this work is one of serene calm and melancholy, but also of the powerful, unstoppable cycle of nature. It is a reminder of the impermanence of everything we build and the eternal rebirth of nature. This image symbolises how nature finds its own way and will always prevail. It is a visual meditation on time, decay and the power of wilderness, perfect for lovers of unique, storytelling art and an addition that will evoke a sense of calm and wonder in any interior.
