Storage Bin in Snow captures the footprint of industrialization on the landscape. The GBI storage bin stands out emphatically as an obdurate object of steel in the whitewashed environment. While standing as a testament to mankind’s innovation, it also solidly interrupt the natural landscape. Leigh turns his camera to the storage bin in an objective manner, capturing it as what humans have left behind.
