EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph, titled "Brent Bravo 34132_037" captures a poignant moment in industrial history. The image showcases the decommissioned oil rig, Brent Bravo, as it undergoes dismantling at Able Seaton Port in Hartlepool during the year 2021.

It symbolizes our collective responsibility towards sustainable practices in an ever-changing world. Emma Trevarthen's artistic eye beautifully encapsulates the intricate details within this print – from rusted metal frames to scattered debris – inviting us to reflect upon our relationship with industry and nature's ability to reclaim what was once hers.
