The photographic approach in Stump centers on intimate, often stark depictions of landscapes marked by human intervention and natural decay. Christopher Anderson focuses on places where signs of life and remnants of the past collide, creating a mood that balances between desolation and quiet contemplation.

Throughout the 96-page sequence, the visual narrative explores themes of memory, erosion, and the passage of time rendered visible through the textures of wood, earth, and skeletal remains of human structures. The imagery engages with the idea of stumps both literally and metaphorically, emphasizing interruption and resilience in the natural and built environment.
