Relics 2

📝 Description

Relics 2 captures the haunting beauty of a forgotten colonial structure, rendered meticulously in black and white. The piece draws attention to the building’s cracked walls, weathered columns, and broken windows — every detail reflecting the passage of time and the weight of history.

Despite its deterioration, the building stands tall with dignity, inviting viewers to reflect on the layers of life once lived here — laughter, silence, resilience, and change.
