Francis Meslet started out as a designer before becoming an artistic director in advertising. He also dedicates his photography to capturing abandoned sites; sanctuaries where time seems to have come to a standstill once the occupants have left. From the series Silence and Oblivion, this image depicts a paper mill in Germany, located in the heart of a dense green forest. Dazzling light pierces the buildings many openings, attracting green reflections from the surrounding vegetation.
