Sam Kweskin, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

An expansive aerial photograph captures a vast flooded body of water under a dim, overcast sky. The sun casts a bright, reflective sheen across the rippling surface of the water. Submerged utility poles stretch into the distance, marking the path of a drowned road or boundary line. A few isolated structures, including a small building and clusters of trees, rise partially above the waterline. The horizon is low and distant, emphasizing the scale of the inundation across the flat terrain.
