Slides

Hundreds of white-bordered film slides cascade in chaotic abundance across the frame, their dark transparent centers creating a mesmerizing pattern of light and shadow. Hand-written labels in faded ink mark forgotten moments—"Camping," "Betlehem Trip," "Canyon"—while Kodak branding peeks through the jumbled mass. The overlapping slides form an archaeological layer of analog memories, each frame holding secrets from decades past, illuminated by soft overhead lighting that transforms this collection into a nostalgic treasure trove.

 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.
