About "Where the past whispers"

by Esther de Wit

About the artwork

This impressive stairwell is located in an abandoned sanatorium somewhere in Europe. Although the building has been out of use for many years, many of the original elements have been remarkably well preserved. The space exudes an atmosphere of faded glory and nostalgia, where the past and decay blend together in quiet harmony.

Eye-catching features include the elegant cast-iron staircase railing, the high ceilings with classical ornamentation, and the authentic tiled floor with a subtle geometric pattern. The walls show clear signs of decay — peeling paint, weathered plaster, and discoloration — all contributing to a poetic image of a place that was once vibrant and functional. Large windows allow filtered daylight to enter, softly illuminating the dust in the air and giving the space an almost sacred atmosphere.

This location raises questions about the people who once came and went here, about care, rest, and healing — and about what remains when time moves on. Every detail tells a story; every corner invites exploration.

This stairwell is a tangible remnant from another era, full of character, history, and mystery. A place where the past whispers, and the beauty of decay is revealed in striking detail. A hidden gem waiting to be rediscovered.
