The central idea of my concentration is documenting abandoned buildings, and by using the building as a canvas to reinvent a new life to an abandoned structure. All of my photographs are colored because I feel that they bring an urban beauty within the building. The main setting I photographed was in the Chicago Brachs Candy factory located in the north west side of Chicago, and the other location was in the Valspar Paint factory Located in the south of the city. The work on my concentration accurately displays my initial idea because i photographed the artwork made by people that linger in abandoned places.
