The earth, left to its devices
The pictures in “The earth, left to its devices” were made along a 75-yard stretch of back shore at Cape Elizabeth, Maine, in the United States.
The series documents some of how this small slice of water, sand, plant and animal life, weather, and tides interacted through four seasons in the waning days of the Anthropocene.
By focusing on a few square feet of beach at a time over the course of a year, I tried to capture something of the life and landscape that struggles and sometimes thrives beneath my usual range of vision.
