About the artwork
In abandoned factories, where cold steel and silence once reigned, a warm light now spills.
"Tranquillity" paints a picture of this gentle transformation. Deer wander amidst old machinery bathed in a soft glow, while foxes find comfort in corners where wildflowers bloom. Rabbits play on floors now lush with green, and badgers and mice explore aisles teeming with life. With every ray of warm light, flora and fauna breathe life back into these spaces, turning remnants of industry into thriving sanctuaries of wildlife.
