Inherit the Dust explores the tension between urban development and the rural landscape through large-scale photographic composites. The images juxtapose sprawling new construction against the remnants of nature, revealing the visual and cultural impact of displacement.
The photobook employs a methodical approach, combining multiple negatives to create expansive scenes that capture both detail and scale. The resulting visuals convey a mood of stark contrast and quiet unease, prompting reflection on contemporary environmental and social changes.
Published by Thames Hudson in 2016, the 124-page volume uses its substantial format to immerse viewers in these complex, layered images, underscoring themes of transformation and loss.
