In this series, photographs of the road are layered on tables from edge to edge. The images of the ground are raised up to be inspected as if they were specimens or rare archives. Ranging in size, the photographic prints create a collage, each one layered on top of the next, suggesting the repair and history that has occurred on the roads themselves. The photographs capture varying scales of cracks, stones, and potholes, creating a sense of dislocation, and the physical connection to the ground, especially in the moments when the photographer’s shoes appear. By elevating the photographs on table and in cases, it invites viewers to closely examine the often-overlooked details of everyday pathways, highlighting the stories and transformations embedded in the surfaces we traverse daily.
