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�

Page 31: Artifacts of Deception

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�
