Empty Series

 

Abandoned Series

Drained pools, abandoned gas stations, the desolate beauty of once grand hotels, emptied of life, yet still breathtakingly architectural. Places that wait for people who never return.

Empty Pools

“Empty places have always fascinated me. Why were they abandoned? How long ago? I went back to the same sites and captured evidence of the slow ingress of Nature’s reclaiming. The drained pools gave rise to thinking about our relationship to life-giving water. I found beauty in faded grandeur as well as the simple process of decay. I felt moved to document and record what used to be, before it all crumbles into dust.”
