When Abandonment Becomes Abundance

I went to an exhibition and the site that it was held at, they'd run out of money. So there'd be no building and no one there for over seven years. And it was in an area of a city that... It used to be home to indigenous plants and trees and incredible nature before people came and colonized and buildings and development and so-called progress began. And because it had been left empty, there were tomato trees growing. There were huge trees in the middle of the site. There were shrubs, there was a plum tree, there were pears, there were fruits growing. And a local architecture firm had come in and had an exhibition there to show how we can build with our natural environment rather than against it and squashing it. And it just gave me wonder about what amazing things we can do when we work with the world.
