Detritus

The Detritus series is a photographic investigation into the still life and more specifically a contemporary adaptation of the vanitas. The objects photographed come from my personal domestic consumption and question the everyday rituals and banal chores needed to stay alive in this society. They can be seen as a contemporary archeological study based on what myself and many others consume everyday to stay alive. They represent the transience of life and the inevitability of death.
