To Build Itself Ruin or Wonder is a visual poem that ruminates upon our living in this world amid our physical artifacts. The images portray human presence and cultural vestiges. With geographic locations and cultural identifiers set aside, the photographs echo indeterminate moments and idiosyncratic remnants. Centering on the obscured and the fragmentary, this work is a contemplation on the significance of our endeavors.
