abandoned: interiors

abandonded. deserted. relinguished back to the earth. these once inhabited places hold a mix of ghostlike energy brought about by past human inhabitance, and the quiet somber energy of emptiness and loss. eerily fascinating….

gary, indiana

office building.

childrens school.
pripyat. (chernobyl exclusion zone)
there are a number of photos of this area of the world. it is infamous for its toxic habitat. a leading example of forced evacuation, abandonment and death due to human error. chilling.

chernobyl.
an abandoned gas mask lies by a childrens doll. both left in the evacuation. their unlikely juxtaposition puts the disaster immediately into perspective.

the abandonment process seen in the photos of chernobly begins again. in 20 years time this place will also be covered in dust and dirt and peeling paint. perhaps trees and grass will have grown through the broken windows.
the real concern: what the radiation levels be like in 20 years time.

the earth shall eventually reclaim all of these places , with or without our consent.

after all we must remember, our presence here is brief. and time is the great equalizer.

love odie,

and odie mama.
