Bleach dipped photograph

The use of bleaching and the addition of overlaying words obscure the presentation of the photograph, emphasizing the likely future we face and our contribution toward it. Leaving vehicles and industrial buildings unbleached adds to the difficulty for you to distance yourself from acknowledging your role in contributing. This work is meant to disturb you, to leave a lasting presence in your mind.
