Dead Space

These photographs are the evidence of lives lived and the residue of unexpected departures. These places depict the aftermath of sudden deaths and evictions. An abrupt emptiness ensues and all that is left are the remaining signs of a previous life.

Once possessions, the objects that are left assume a new status. They serve as metaphors for the life and death of their late owners. The destitute items are like decaying carcasses, empty shells devoid of memory or purpose. Like the corpse, the remains exist in an existential loneliness, stripped bare of emotion and life.
