‘Font of Empty’ – The Triumph of Capitalism over Altruism
c. Michael St.Mark 2016

Found defunct Victorian public water fountain serving as a disposal shelf for empty drinks cans and paper coffee cups; exterior St.Pancras station London NW1

Built in the admirable spirit of community service, now an obsolete, forgotten, neglected and abused relic in an age of unashamed yet ultimately doomed individual pursuit of happiness, often at the expense of others, through material means.
