In December of 2021, I drove from Boston to Chicago and was exposed to an area of the midwest that I’ve never explored. I spent time off of the main highways to explore the paraded empty space that characterizes much of this region. The five images in this series were created in Ohio over the span of a few days during which atmospheric conditions covered the landscape.

As this project is named, I set out with the intention of capturing this region superficially - these photos are not an in-depth representation of the Midwest. They serve as just a glimpse at the area, the first impression I had as I traveled through. These images show the viewer how desolate the region really is, and just how removed it is from the cities I typically photograph near.

The series is 5 NFT images - 4 of which are listed as 4/4 editions, the last being a 1/1 image. Work by Austin J Schofield.
