"Like people, buildings have characters – they evoke stories, memories and sentiments. This is the view from the window of a hostel I stayed at in Venice. Drenched in warm evening light, I was moved by the building’s lonely timelessness: the sense of beauty emanating from the slow process of decay. You’ll notice sections of the painting were masked and peeled away to reveal the solid red under paint. This process dimensionally mimics the peeling quality of the plaster on the building walls."
