This photographic series investigates retail and tourist sites across middle America. I aim to expose specific moments when the veneer is pulled back to reveal deteriorating display construction, shoddy storage, and left-behind ephemera. This series includes photographs I made starting in 2014, to the global pandemic in 2020, and the present.
