Beauty in the Breakdown: The Aesthetics of Decay and Chaos

Fascinated by abandoned places, Romain Veillon has travelled all over the globe capturing the spirit of nature taking over artificially created spots. He finds aesthetic beauty and a unique atmosphere in the chaos of decay, and in his opinion, images of corroding constructions perfectly illustrate the idea that humans are only passers-by on Earth.

Romain Veillon has written a book about his project. You can visit his website and follow the artist on Instagram.
