‘Half Buried Memories’
No, it’s not the results of a New Zealand earthquake, but rather a sculptural piece in Auckland commenting (perhaps) on the loss of historical buildings, and that greater emotional loss which accompanies that process.
While I was taking the picture on the weekend, a colourful local approached and told me that he had opposed the sculpture’s installation years ago. A “waste of money” ,”not actually real”. Just attracted people wanting to take photos (“like me?”, I asked smilingly).
That was as may be, but there was no getting around the period in the 1980s when developers, according to the bloke, were hell bent on pulling down old buildings and replacing them with new and shiny edifices, before new “heritage” planning rules prevented them doing so without some preservation measures being undertaken.
It is a burial site of a kind, even if “not real”, and evokes the feelings you associate with those places.
In the background, the newer high rise buildings of downtown can be seen through the trees.
There will come a time when they too will be demolished to make way for something “better” and more progressive.
And only memories will remain.

So true…Only memories will remain. Nature will eventually reclaim. Dust and ashes, remnants of our existence.

I think it’s astounding, and the post’s thumbnail added an extra touch: The vase and masonry along the left look like someone bent over the structure, trying to push it back up (or further down?). Now I see it in either size image.

It’s very cool I think.I like your take on it too Rae -perhaps that’s how we try and bury the past and compress our memories!
