Fallout

Fallout is an etching that depicts a stand of trees pushed by a powerful, unseen force. In the distance, a blast wave ripples across the landscape and particles are visible in the sky.

The image draws on the dual meaning of “fallout.” In nuclear terms, it refers to the radioactive particles released into the atmosphere after an explosion, which drift back to the ground long after the initial blast. More broadly, it describes the lingering social, environmental, and health consequences that unfold over time.
