"Decay"
'Forgotten'
The theme we chose for our photo essay was ‘Decay’, with a sub- theme of ‘Forgotten’ which we represented using various images of car wreckages. The images show a range of cars, which have been left in car yards. We chose to use cars from car yards because there is a sense they have been abandoned and ‘forgotten’. This comes from the lack of ownership of the cars as well as the extensive damage found on the cars.
The damage on the cars presents the theme of decay in forms such as rust. An example of decay would be the photo showing a rusty door, which has become unhinged from a car. Cars are an everyday aesthetic, therefore by showing cars in such a different form to what the viewer is used to, the themes of decay and forgotten are highlighted.
