DUMPSTERS 💛

I’ve been taking photos of dumpsters since 2011. I love the beautiful designs that rust and decay create. So often we think of decay and age as negative things. But when I look at the eloquent designs on dumpsters, it reminds me that growth, especially through pain and change, is beautiful. I’m also regularly reflecting on how, when we communicate our pain authentically, and it is received with genuine care, it’s a very beautiful experience, for all of the individuals involved. It’s like Jesus is painting rust designs on our dumpster moments.
