One southern tip of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula has really felt the force of tropical storms. All that remains of some impressive holiday apartments are dilapidated concrete frames. Nevertheless, they are occasionally inhabited not only by black spiny-tailed iguanas but also by other beachgoers. This is evident by the shabby rags used as curtains, the worn garden chair up on the unprotected balcony, and the layers of graffiti and tags.

CONCRETE DECAY – the antidote to beauty clichés

The Science Term Bank defines beauty as an aesthetic quality that is generally considered a type of aesthetic value. According to the philosopher Plato, beauty is a true reality that can be understood by reason, but whose imperfect reflections can also be perceived by the senses. Aristotle, on the other hand, defended the principle of purposefulness. The opposite of these views is that beauty is a purely subjective value, i.e., beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Also ugliness is in the eye of the beholder. Decadent romanticism, the beauty of ugliness, is an ideological movement that emerged in the late 18th century. According to this movement, an object can be perceived as beautiful simply because looking at it gives pleasure.
