significant detail and poetics

The significant detail image set for the Maxpak site focuses on the interplay between the physical decay of the built structures, reclamation of the site by opportunistic plants and the evidence of human occupation portrayed though graffiti. These are the elements that initially attracted me to the site. As I investigate the site through seeing and photographing, these elements seem to become more intertwined. 

Reflecting on this weeks reading and beginning to contemplate and explore the poetics of the site further, I predict that the juxtaposition of the built, natural and human elements will play an increasingly important role in the emergent narratives of the site. Contrast and anomaly with the surrounding neighborhood context also seem rich areas for further exploration.
