Cultural Ghosts, the unintentional beauty of litter

It is not my intention to glorify garbage with these images. Instead these photos, and the personification represented in their titles, are an attempt to express the rebellion of my mind against the spirit of apathy that permeates a culture which allows such collections of refuse to exist in plain sight along our roadways.

My eyes see discarded plastic and, like the majority of the populace, I want to merely block it out.

But my soul, longing for beauty and the renewal of pristine landscapes, interprets them as prophetic spectres who seem to warn that this all too fragile ecosystem is already dangerously close to doom.
