While in the backyard of my grandmother’s house in Venezuela, I became intrigued by the vast collection of items, or odds and ends, that had accumulated there, some having been part of the household inventory for years, or even decades. These objects may have once looked better or still had some functional life left in them, which is why they were kept, with the hope that they might one day be restored, even as time passed and they simply continued to deteriorate further. Yet, some items remain useful despite being completely rusted; for instance, a wheelbarrow or lengths of pipe can still serve a purpose, even if they don’t look particularly appealing.
My attention was drawn, in particular, to all the metal objects covered in rust. I find the coppery color palette quite attractive, though I certainly don’t like things to be rusted, but in that moment, they were perfect for a few photographs. After so many years of seeing these items tucked away in the backyard, where they really just make that part of the house look unsightly, I suddenly discovered a certain beauty in them, which is why I chose them as the subject for a series of photos.
And so, rust turned out to be beautiful, the very centerpiece of the photographic exhibition I am presenting here.

The moral: Let’s not dismiss anything, because everything can appear good or bad depending on the lens through which we view it, in this case, the lens we happen to be using on our camera.

Estando en el patio trasero de la casa de mi abuela, cuando estuve en Venezuela, me interesé en la gran cantidad de cosas o cachivaches acumulados, los cuales tienen años, incluso décadas formando parte del inventario de la casa. Lo que sucede es que son cosas que en una época tuvieron una mejor apariencia, incluso vida útil y eso hace que se conserven con la esperanza de poder restaurarlos, aunque transcurra el tiempo y solo sigan deteriorándose cada vez más. Sin embargo, hay cosas que siguen siendo útiles, aunque estén totalmente oxidadas, por ejemplo, una carretilla y trozos de tubos que siempre pueden tener una utilidad, aunque no luzcan atractivos.
Definitivamente, mi atención estuvo dirigida hacia todo aquello de metal que estaba cubierto de oxido. Es que me parece atractiva la combinación de colores cobrizos, aunque no me gusta que las cosas estén oxidadas, pero en ese momento fueron perfectas para unas cuantas fotografías. Ni lo imaginé, luego de tantos años viendo todas esas cosas arrinconadas en el patio trasero, que realmente afean esa parte de la casa, resulta que vi belleza en ellas y por eso las elegí como objetivo para hacer una serie de fotos.
Y así fue como el óxido resultó ser hermoso y el protagonista de la exposición fotográfica que presento en esta ocasión.
La moraleja: No desestimemos nada, porque todo luce bien o mal dependiendo del lente con que lo miremos, en este caso dependiendo del lente que usemos en nuestra cámara.
