Whereas one might automatically think of Waste as being
household rubbish, I have decided to represent Waste by focusing on the waste
of human life when people become homeless. Scarily, this can happen to anyone. Someone
could lose their job and not be able to pay their mortgage or rent. Young
people often leave home with no where else to go because of conflict with
parents or step-parents. Some may leave an abusive relationship or leave the
marital home as their relationship has broken down.
Although some might manage to find help to get them back on
their feet, too often people find themselves sinking into a downward spiral of
helplessness and hopelessness. Ill health sets in due to sleeping on the
streets, boredom saps self confidence and depression can take hold adding mental
problems to physical problems.
I want to show how the subject of Waste can apply to humans.
If there was more help available for people at the start of this downward
journey, many lives could be kept on track.
So for my test shots, I shall take photos of people on the
streets of the Medway.
