FALLOW | PAUSE | BLOOM

Fallow | Pause | Bloom repurposes a vintage beach windbreak with vibrant orange and red stripes as a playful intervention within post-industrial landscapes. This nostalgic object from Kent's coastal culture takes on new meaning when placed within brownfield contexts. The hand-printed title text invites visitors to reconsider overlooked sites as spaces of potential rest and renewal. Just as a windbreak creates a temporary sanctuary at the shore, this installation carves out a moment of pause, suggesting that urban spaces—like creativity itself—need periods of rest to flourish. The work creates an accessible entry point for engaging with themes of environmental regeneration and the poetry of forgotten places.
