Collateral Beauty is a collection of photographs taken in Death Valley. After the last Ice Age (128,000 years ago), Death Valley was a large lake teaming with life. However, due to climate change, the area saw temperatures rise and weather patterns shift, causing the lake and ecosystem to collapse (~10,000 years ago). This created an arid desert that we now know as Death Valley. Some may see it as damaged, but beauty is found as a result of the collapse. Even when all appears lost, if you look past tragedy, you will always find a positive point to start the healing process.
