Monuments

A non-judgmental study of mankind's monumental presence in natural places. A whimsical look at how the evidence of our presence might be mistaken as more meaningful than it actually is.

Put

Decaying

monuments

Imperial paens

Creation blighted by

man's creation

Observed by

a hopeful

eye

A remote beach; natural, teeming with perpetual life

A wooden post; grafted erect, decomposing

Marooned remnants of

metal

rubber

concrete

awaiting interpretation by future heirs

Consecrated vestiges of a sacred site?

The humble bones of a once-vital shelter?

Devices of communication? Recreation? Torture?

Or, perhaps such conjecture is futile

foolish to suggest one object’s purpose

is inherently more righteous than another’s

And, whether the disfiguring evidence

of our conquest and consumption

is temporary or permanent

Beauty breaks through
