Photographers really have an eye to pick what is art and what is not. This collection of demolition art is a prime example of an ingenious mind creating something from nothing.

When residences are destroyed, they leave different degrees of remnants around. The ‘Unconscious Art of Demolition’ photo pool is built around capturing those remains.

The arrangement of photos comes jam-packed with old tiles, walls, grout, and foundation. It’s a look at pretty cool imagery of something that once was.
