Mildew Paper

These are photographs I took as studies in the series I am working on called "Beauty in the Breakdown" these are mildewing paper, but the shapes and colors that naturally occurred to me are beautiful. The series that I am working on is about trying to see the beauty in the breaking down or decomposing of things. Composition and decomposition are both very beautiful, it is just uncommon that we look for aesthetic value in what is dying, rotting, decomposing, mildewing, molding and rusting away.
