A short series about streetlights enchanted by time, wind, dust and water.
August 2019.
Over time, each of them acquired unique features and character. Each has a story of its life imprinted on its surface. Trying to adapt to the onslaught of environmental changes brought by humans, nature creates hybrid forms that combine man-made with something completely natural. Initially introduced as a part of urban infrastructure, gradually they succumbed to influence of nature, let it in and gave up to being altered by it.
As a result, they became united.
By this example, one can clearly see that it is impossible to completely isolate oneself from environment and exist separately. We constantly change the world around us, but at the same time we cannot resist its influence on us.
