EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Steven Baker captures a hauntingly beautiful scene on Birnbeck Island, Weston-Super-Mare. The image focuses on the intricate details of stained and damaged urinals within the abandoned gentlemen's toilets on the derelict pier. It serves as a poignant reminder of the passage of time and decay that has befallen this once vibrant location. The photograph exudes an air of mystery, with its desolate atmosphere and crumbling infrastructure. The peeling paint, broken tiles, and neglected fixtures tell stories of forgotten memories and lost moments. Despite their dilapidated state, these urinals hold a certain charm in their weathered appearance. Baker's lens skillfully captures not only the physical deterioration but also evokes emotions associated with abandonment and neglect. The image invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as urban decay, nostalgia for times gone by, and the transient nature of human existence. While some may perceive this scene as sleazy or unhygienic due to its subject matter, it is important to recognize that art often challenges our preconceived notions about beauty. In this case, Baker presents us with an opportunity to find beauty even in unexpected places – reminding us that there is value in appreciating all aspects of our built environment. Through his lens, Steven Baker offers us a glimpse into history through architectural remnants; he encourages us to pause and contemplate what was once bustling with life but now stands silently amidst decay.
