RUST

It’s everywhere, and it’s not desirable, so why photograph it?

To communicate the following…

If our status and self-worth are measured by the physical treasures we have or hope for…

And these treasures can be stolen or destroyed, and eventually will rust away…

Putting our hope, status, and self-worth in these treasures is fragile and foolish.

Where is your hope?

Is it in material things or spiritual things?

What is your time, energy and

money spent accomplishing?

Are you chasing treasure that will rust away?

I have been taking photographs since I was a little girl, but I started creating images more recently.

This collection's message, and ultimately the development, was inspired by a scripture:

“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; for where your treasure is, your heart will also be.”

Matthew 6: 19-21

All of the image titles relate to this principle in some way.

I pursue my passion of creating images in Lemont, PA and my studio/gallery.
