Mikkel Urup's FAQ

Robert: "Hello Mr. Urup,
I looked at your images in your colours of decay presentation. I looked at each image for several minutes attempting to grasp what meaning each of your images had for you as well as for myself. Unfortunately, I failed to grasp the full meanings of the Decay part. I saw many images of items in a state of natural change. Most of these images to me, show not an ending in decay, but a beginning in another state of existence.
Now to me, when I think of decay, I do not see nature, but the works of people. Political decay where the politicians no longer care for the people but for themselves, street gangs holding neighborhoods at bay, graffiti on fine works of art. I am not an artist, so perhaps what I am seeing is not what you intended for me to see. I would enjoy hearing your feelings on my observations.
Thank you for your time in reading my letter."

Hi Robert,
Your are so right, the decay is only seen from one point of view, and from another point of view it's simply the begining of a new form of "life". A form of "life" which I personally enjoy looking at. Hey, I also prefer and old chair to a new, more life...
Thanks for your feedback!
Kind regards,
:-)
Mikkel
