This series was captured on a very cold, February afternoon in Saskatchewan, 2022. The weather in Saskatchewan can be harsh. When homes and farms are left abandoned, the elements will reclaim the land. In this series, I captured a house whose previous family had left. Items in the kitchen and living room remained, including children's toys and the body of a stray dog. Before long, winter finds a way back in, and all falls to decay. There is a haunting beauty in that decay. One wonders what life must have been like before. But what we’re left with is The After.
