For this project I documented a small dump space outside my house that I pass by and utilize everyday. I aimed to bring forth the beauty in the small space that surrounds and confines a small dump bin. I wanted to show the almost hidden beauty in the wear and time that the walls of the space contain. When i got to really look at the space I found myself in front of what seemed to be almost paintings created by cracks, stains and the textures of deterioration. I was surprised to see how a simple change in the angle in which I visually approached a space could change the entire context of it. I was able to experience the transformation of a place that was once unpleasant , dull and unimportant to a space containing hidden beauty within its filth and deterioration.
Impressive find. It is sometimes that which we take for granted the most that ends up having the most potential value, the unknown, the thing we have yet to find. This assignment really deals with the left-overs and the things we don't see and forces us to see them. I think it can lead us into very interesting places. Great exploration Gaby!
