To fit in with the theme of Anthropocene and the impact humans have on the earth/ environment I wanted to include a piece on the old ruins of Brighton’s west pier. he West Pier is a ruined pier in Brighton, England. It was designed by Eugenius Birch and opened in 1866. It was the first pier to be Grade I listed in England and Wales but has become increasingly derelict since its closure to the public in 1975 as a result of a fire. As of present day only a partial metal framework remains.
My aim was to keep it simple by taking a photo from straight on to capture the wreckage in contrast to the large open sea around it, and showing how it has just been left abandoned there.
