Inspired by a pile of metal garbage that caught my attention in 2019.
In 2024, I found it sifting through my film photos. I wondered why I took this picture; it still looked interesting 5 years later. To understand why, I created an observational 3D impressionist rendering and made frames to spend more time with the image beyond just looking at it.
This process felt like I was paying attention to something that was no longer useful. I wondered where all the little bits went and where they might sit on this earth. Maybe I wanted to let this pile of trash exist in this new way. Through this process, the trash became important to me.
Trash is forever, trash is important.
