Pure Oil

This work tells the story of neglect and apathy towards our natural environment through a series 
of photographs made along a secluded stretch of road traversing the Cajun Prairie. This location 
is home to crawfish and rice farming, migratory birds, hunting, oil production, and illegal dumping- 
including dozens of tires in ditches that run alongside the roadway. The images are representative 
of the inherited legacy of the South- that heartbreaking paradox of beauty and violence in our 
landscape. They are a study of human nature. Photographs made from 2023 - Present.
