random abandon or ballast for joy

Sometimes you might have the feeling that you have lost yourself when you experience places that are not familiar to you. In most cases you feel scared because you feel vulnerable and alone only because you have not yet found the key to their discovery. Those places are abandoned but full of stories and memories. I took a journey around the US in order to collect the most striking and intriguing abandoned buildings on my path. Whenever I came across these places my deep sense of curiosity meant that I was almost irresistibly drawn to explore what was beyond the line of the walls. Once I got inside I had the very conflicted feelings of disquiet and serenity which kind of made me understand the story behind these buildings.
