Project proposal

I want to explore the concept of what people leave behind after they have gone. The word ‘concept’ is important because the term is supposed to be broad so that I can use photography to explore the different elements of this theme. ‘After they’ve gone’ being important because I don’t want to incorporate people in the images. Instead, I want to see what conclusions can be drawn from the things that people have left. This could be by exploring the relationship between the people and what’s left, why they’ve left it, what this says about them/what they’ve left, whether or not it’s incidental and what can be said about that. I intentionally wanted a broad starting point so that I am not restricted when exploring these possible elements, however I am aware that I won’t be able to cover every element. I’ll use my research and own curiosity as a guide to help me decide what is most relevant. As a starting point, I will look at what people leave at events.
