In this body of work, I would like to contrast the
relatively uninvested innocence of childhood with the toxic sites that have
been clumped around a small area. Everyone will be able to identify the
playground, but the other pictures appear unfamiliar, ominous, or mysterious;
illustrating the secretive deals that slipped two landfills and a medical waste
incinerator right under the feet of a pre-established community. Originally I
had hoped to capture this juncture in the same frame, but even though all of these
pictures were taken within less than a five minute walk of each other, the layout has been too cleverly designed so that both the community and waste facilities are not
visible at the same time. Thus, I’ll have to create the same effect in other
ways.
