Title:Intermission: Radiation
Intermission is a series of images made during the Covid 19 pandemic addressing the protection of the environment and how halting our continual intrusion into nature might revitalize it. Air quality improved as people stayed home and practiced social distancing but it became clear to me that the environment needs a mask from the human race and its use of fossil fuels. Each image exposes the threat pollution poses to our natural world and ultimately to the human population.
