URBEX
Personal
Photographs made inside abandoned and transitional spaces — buildings that tell a story about what was made here, and what was left behind.
What was happening
What gets left behind when people leave.
Urban exploration is a form of archaeology. The spaces documented in URBEX are not ruins in the classical sense — they are rooms that were in use within living memory, abandoned quickly, and then left to decompose at their own pace.
What is interesting about these spaces is not their decay but their specificity. The objects that remain were chosen by someone, arranged by someone, made for purposes that were once clear.
David’s role
Buildings have memories.
The URBEX photographs are about the relationship between human intention and entropy — what we build, what we maintain, and what we allow to return to disorder.
Each space carries a record of the people who inhabited it. The photographs try to read that record without romanticizing it.
