Abstract
Grief is a feeling that is often associated with humans and animals. According to the American Psychological Association, grief is “the anguish experienced after significant loss, usually the death of a beloved person.” But grief may also take the form of the inanimate; When we look at a dead tree, we think of its fallen leaves. Or a crumbling family owned restaurant–we recall its glory days of two-dollar burgers. Loss can be felt, not only inside us, but in the world around us. By photographing various landscapes of Northwest Indiana, our project aims to capture grief in nature as well as the man-made.
