This high-quality Giclée print, produced on 310gsm Hahnemühle German Etching paper, captures a surreal and haunting vision of a future London. Created using a hand-built miniature set made from paper and cardboard, the scene features a crumbling townhouse teetering on a sandy embankment along the River Thames. Its skeletal frame is partially supported by wooden scaffolding, while overgrown palm fronds claw at its decaying walls. The surrounding landscape is desolate, with loose sand, broken timbers, and scattered debris suggesting abandonment and erosion. In the distance, through thick fog, the spires and domes of the old city loom like ghostly silhouettes, their presence faded but still imposing. The entire piece evokes a post-apocalyptic atmosphere—quiet, eerie, and strangely beautiful.
