Anna Collette’s photographs convey the fragility of the American landscape and nature’s capacity for both beauty and destruction. The Onion Creek watershed in Austin, Texas, catches water from a large area, making it vulnerable to flooding. Historic rainfall in the fall of 2013 uprooted trees and sent them rushing downstream, where they were caught by a grove of magnificent Southern live oaks—emblems of the South—which was also damaged in the flood. Collette photographed the creek bed from a highway overpass once the floodwaters had receded, positioning her camera over the edge of the rail. This work from the series presents fragments of a seemingly endless terrain of environmental devastation.
