Ruins and Remnants

This exhibit explores the evocative theme of abandoned architecture and the traces left by humanity. We seek to showcase images that reveal the stories etched into architectural spaces and the objects left behind—the marks, structures, and artifacts that speak to our histories and inspire contemplation. From crumbling factories and forgotten homes to discarded tools and personal belongings, these remnants of human presence evoke a sense of time’s passage and humanity’s impermanence. This is a call to preserve these fleeting spaces and objects through photography before they fade, rot, or crumble into obscurity. PhotoPlace gallery would like to support those affected by wildfires in LA with a donation of 10% of submission fees from the exhibit.
