In the series Desert Houses, ruins of houses inhabit the arid landscape. Similarly, Ice Age documents traces of human activity on the landscape, from worn footpaths to ancient campsites. These fading records of interaction with the land stand as a testament to both human endeavor and geological process. --- RELATED WORKS --- CITATIONS --- IMAGES
