A woman in a blue dress holding a Canon DSLR camera stands at the entrance of the Cathedral of Junk, a massive outsider art installation made entirely from discarded objects. The towering walls on either side of her stretch high above, densely packed with bicycles, wiring, appliances, electronics, tubing, lamps, and countless other salvaged items. The installation creates a narrow corridor or tunnel-like passage through which the visitor navigates. Ivy and other plants have begun to reclaim portions of the structure, softening the industrial chaos with organic greenery. The bright midday Texas sun illuminates the scene starkly, creating strong contrasts between the cluttered shadows and sunlit surfaces.
