As a photographer, I see in this weathered wall of an old beach cabin on Texel not just decay, but a canvas that tells stories through its layers. Each layer of paint seems to represent a different summer, with countless visitors finding solace by the sea - their laughter echoing against these wooden guards of memories. The bright yellow stripe running vertically down the middle perhaps symbolises those fleeting moments of joy and sunshine, now immortalised in the structure of this place.
This abstract work invites the viewer to look beyond peeling paint and see the beauty in impermanence. It is a work of art created by time itself, where every scratch and colour is a verse in the poem of passing seasons. The rough texture and visible signs of weathering add a depth that can only be achieved over the years.
By making this photograph, I hope people will come to appreciate the value of the imperfect and the stories hidden in the smallest details. This is not just a wall; it is a living work of art, shaped by the elements and the memories of everyone who has ever been here.
