A view of last night's empty cans and bottles left strewn on the steps of a local train station in Madrid. It seems to symbolize the melancholy and bleakness of the world due to a sense of stagnation, or it seems to be a scene that has accidentally acquired an aesthetic formality that was not intended by anyone. I tried to develop the images in such a way that they convey both the event of litter and my personal impression of its visual appeal.
