Statement - Benches

At first my final project was about the age of benches. In every bench a different age can be seen. They each weather, rust and rot as time goes on. That weathering gives them character. In the beginning of my project I focused on age. As it progressed, I shifted my focus to the surroundings and landscapes around the benches. I also used inspiration from Bernd and Hilla Becher. Their photos have a certain gloomy feel to them. I tried to recreate that by taking photographs of rainy cloudy days.
