Toxic Beauty

Iridescent Skull

Toxic River 

Dirty 

Everything Envisioned is Obscured

These images are interesting to me because of their beauty despite their polluted settings. Obviously there are connections with environmentalism with these images, but I don't want them to be seen only as statements against humanity's ill treatment of the earth. Instead, I like the questioning of what is beauty and what can make up the beautiful that these images raise. The last image, I feel, is the most representative of the current times in which there is not a clear cut path, there is not a clear old way of thinking, there is not a clear evil or wrong to fight against; instead it is all slightly blurred and impossible to view clearly.
