All the Things Discarded
Papakōlea Beach, Hawai'i, Hawaii
This pile of detritus - ghost nets, plastic tubs, and other things that wash up on the southern shore - caught my eye for its strangely aesthetic quality. Tossed together randomly, the bits and pieces somehow fuse into an almost elegantly organic cacaphony. Against a spartan background of windswept dune grasses, this heap of trash seems against all odds to be vibrantly and uncontrollably alive. Unnatural as they may be, the things we create have a way of taking on a life of their own.
