Surrogate

Continuing to source and create my own assets and textures, I was on a walk and someone had dumped an old car bonnet outside. It was rusty as fuck, so naturally snapped some close ups and here we are.

You could read into rust being a form of decay and perception if you’d like. Is the rust it’s true form, and the lie being weathered away?
