There’s no romantic ruin or dramatic collapse here. Instead, we see something quieter: inertia. Systems that persist beyond their moment of use.
The images are both mesmerizing and slightly unsettling. The scale is impressive, almost beautiful — yet strangely indifferent to us.
Rather than documenting the fall of civilization, Aubin photographs its afterglow: structures that endure, with or without their makers.
