Archive of Abandoned Dreams in White Frames

Hundreds of vintage photographic slides cascade in chaotic abundance, their white Kodachrome and generic cardboard mounts creating a mesmerizing pattern against deep black film apertures. Hand-written labels in faded ink and pencil hint at forgotten camping trips, family gatherings, and personal histories now relegated to this overwhelming pile at SCRAP PDX in Portland's Goose Hollow. The composition transforms discarded memories into an abstract landscape of geometric repetition, where each small window once held a captured moment in time.
