A fragmented atlas of the American West, seen from above but never touched. Grainy glimpses of lakes shrinking, rivers winding, mountains folding into wildfire smoke. Lithium ponds shimmer beside endless grids of farmland, roads stretching toward places I will never go. Taken through smeared windows at 30,000 feet, these images capture a landscape both familiar and unreachable—etched with history, extraction, and the weight of distance.
