The brick is one of the main elements used in the construction of architecture. It is also often all that remains as evidence of a building after its destruction. Arnatt observes the intricate cracks and textures of the brick's surface in close-up. The image conveys the solidity, complexity and monumentality of the brick almost as if it were a work of architecture in its own right.
