The Oil Sands

The Oil Sands

The Oil Sands project documents the devastating effects that the extraction of oil can have on a landscape as well as the complicated human relationship with the oil industry.

Hidden within the vast landscape photographs are a number of pockets that contain fragments of often-overlooked stories documenting the experiences of the people most effected by the oil industry in this area.
