Abandonment: Potential in the Ruins

The subject of abandonment or the term abandon can have a wide variety of meaning and can also stem off into many different areas.  The focus of potential within abandonment is an interesting point because it looks past the physical elements, but further into the outcome or what the outcome could possibly be.  Looking deeper at several different buildings, warehouses and homes will allow me to dig deeper into the subject of potential.  I think it will be interesting to not just solely skim the matter of abandonment, but the elements that are often not thought about. 

There are many objects, people or places that can be abandoned, but it is fascinating to think about why they are the way they are and what they could be.  Within the project itself, I think that it will be most interesting to fine tone in on the smaller details that make up the abandon term as a whole.  Close up shots of small objects, lonely items and pure garbage will provoke a strong meaning.  Ultimately the viewer will hopefully leave with a certain emotion and also begin to think about the term.  Considering the fact that Detroit contains so many abandoned buildings, it should be something that near communities are aware of.  Prevention, awareness and just overall knowledge of the word abandonment will hopefully make a difference. The potential within these lost buildings are high and could be used for many different things such as, shelters, food banks, homes and new companies.
