Photo Essays
A long-form documentary photography project tracing environmental change through images of land, water, and human-made ruins. Each essay pairs archival and contemporary photographs with written narratives that attend to place, loss, and the fragile work of repair. Organized by theme, these series invite slow looking, careful reading, and reflection on how we live with disaster.
