Titans
I found many parallels between the titans and the abandoned industrial places that I was able to photograph. Huge and coming from a golden age that is no longer there, we see their stories slowly sinking into oblivion. Now, these symbols of a past reign are still there, enthroned in the middle of an ancient industrial city to wait for someone to care about them.
