I decided on this particular to symbolise the growth within the building for a few different reasons. This is a common flower found growing from ivy all around the UK. It is important that this flower could actually be found inside the Strathmartine Hospital. That is also the reason i went for ivy in the first place...it would have no problem laying roots in an abandoned building. The other reason was for the colour of the flower. It is the colour of white because none of the colours from the light have been absorbed and so will reflect around the room.
This little fella is the Colorado potato beetle. Dont let the name fool you, they can be found in the UK but they are a regulated beetle in Europe due to havoc caused to potato farmers. Large part of my reasoning for choosing this guy is an esthetic one, i just had to make sure it was possible for him to be found in the UK.
