ABANDONMENT ISSUES STEPHANIE SCOTT
Dedicated to All Abandoned Souls
Beauty in Destruction Throughout our lives, we acquire various objects, big or small, extravagant
or simple. We put our hearts and souls into these objects, cherishing them as we would a loved one. We give them souls and with love, care, and devotion, the objects flourish, returning what they were given. But what becomes of those that have been abandoned? When we move on, we take the love with us. Without it, the object deteriorates, disintegrating piece-by-piece, board-byboard, falling into darkness until it is claimed by it.
The
objects within this book were found in various locations around St. Mary’s County, Maryland. Each is in a different level of deterioration, some more than others.
There is beauty in their quiet destruction.
