New proposal

Proposal
I have discovered a new area in a car park in Wellington which i thought was visually interesting and had many features or aspects that i thought i could explore creatively in order to show space and how this space can shape the way the viewer see's or feels about an ordinary environment. I have tried to capture ,through my photos, how the many unique spaces that are often ignored or unnoticed in a regular parking building can be more than what they seem. As I searched the area for ideas and inspiration, I couldn't help but notice that this place wasn't deserted or abandoned, like the photos by J Bennett Fitts or Phillip Toledano, but the rubbish on the ground, the graffiti on the concrete exterior, the holes on the walls and the many cars parked in the lot made the space feel lived in- perhaps not as welcoming but there were so many small details that could be easily missed or forgotten and yet they help make the space what it is. rather than focusing on the empty space only, i wanted to show the strange little spaces that i found in this area that may seem random and irrelevant for a normal car park to have, but in my opinion gives character and excitement to the entire car park, as it seemed like an adventure discovering these cooky spaces and photographing them.
