About the project
From Watery Dreams To Dust features captivating images of Owens Lake, a natural terminus in California, where the remnants of a once-vibrant ecosystem meet the quiet town of Keeler.
Nestled on the lake’s eastern shores, Keeler reflects a bygone era of soda processing and mining. The stark beauty of the dry lakebed contrasts with the historical significance of the area, highlighting the delicate balance between water resources and industrial activity.
These photographs invite viewers to contemplate the environmental changes that have shaped this unique landscape, since the city of Los Angeles drained this lake in its fantasy for a permanent source of water.
