What is abandonment? It is a complex idea for thought, one that will have latitudes of psychological aspects involved, and perhaps a tiny dose of the materialistic. There is a sense of sadistic beauty in abandonment and an eternal source of intrigue and fascination. For they come burdened with a rich history; of pride and wonder, of passing time, change, absence, or why abandonment in the first place. They have the tendency of leading us down a lane of wild imagination, which is more of a self-reflection than we care to understand. Because the source of imagination comes from deep-rooted personal traits, engraved in our character by a culmination of social, economic, and political experiences of the past. The alluring nature of such mysteries perhaps comes from the realization that in all of our greatness, we too are but temporary, that one day all that will remain of us, or rather our absence will invoke remnants of what defines our
presence.

This project is an assortment of abandonment and decay, represented by broken vehicles and their constituents, ones that were most definitely a crown jewel in the inventory of many materialists. Beyond the surface though, it is an attempt to draw connections between the psychological and the materialistic, a thought process of putting the center of attraction away from the unique blend of rust and nature to the politics of self-reflection through the act of imagination.
