A digitally altered photograph depicts the Brutalist architecture of the Heygate Estate under a dramatic, dark, and cloudy sky. The large residential buildings, with numerous windows and concrete balconies, are rendered with an unnatural colour palette featuring muted blues, pinks, and greys. Vibrant, almost neon green trees fill the foreground and midground, contrasting sharply with the dark sky and the stark buildings. A low fence runs across the foreground, enclosing a bright green grassy area.
