Contrasts and Balance - A Captivating Snapshot of Surreal Abandonment
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print captured by E. Milsom in 1976, we are transported to Surrey Docks, a once bustling hub in south-east London. The focal point of the image is an abandoned lorry, standing alone amidst the desolation. Its presence seems incongruous against the backdrop of nature's beauty. The composition exudes a sense of danger and mystery as it juxtaposes elements that seem at odds with each other. The imposing vehicle stands as an antithesis to the tranquility of its surroundings - a stark reminder of man-made intrusion into the natural world. While devoid of human presence, life finds its way into this scene through an unexpected visitor perched on top of the lorry – a solitary bird observing its temporary perch with curiosity or perhaps longing for movement across open skies. This photograph captures not only a mode of transport but also tells a story about contrasts and balance within our environment. It serves as a metaphorical reflection on society's impact on nature while highlighting how even in abandonment, there is still beauty to be found. Elegantly composed in landscape format, this archival print transports us back to an era when consumer products were scarce and finance was uncertain. It invites contemplation on themes such as transportation, industry, and our relationship with both the animal kingdom and our own urban landscapes. A truly mesmerizing piece that speaks volumes without uttering any words;
