Oblivion explores an obtrusive element within the process of photography—dust.
Scans from a blank flatbed scanner bed may initially appear empty, but with further exploration and manipulation, a wealth of imagery might present itself, much like the views of deep space from the Hubble or James Webb Space Telescopes, or something more earthbound like Dust Breeding by Man Ray (and Marcel Duchamp).
This series deconstructs the meticulous approach associated with the fundamentals of the photographic process and attempts to embrace a fault of the medium itself.
