As societies live and die, they leave behind traces of their existence;

objects and artifacts of bygone times� Rarely does a society live amongst

their relics; our mass consumption has granted us the opportunity to see

exactly what we are leaving behind� While there is beauty in our decay,

we need to find a natural balance between our coveted goods and the

waste left in their wake�

This series is a compilation of photographs taken throughout michigan

between 2010 and 2011� THese photographs are a culmination of travelled

miles, missed expiration dates, (sub)urban sprawl, planned obsolescence,

derelict lots, civic decay, and; most importantly; human waste�
