We often see images of environmental degradation from
a distance, but photographer Arati Kumar-Rao does something truly remarkable in
this portrayal of decay. Rather than focus on the large locations, Kumar-Rao opts
instead to show the human side of this environmental decay. The BBC reports
that Arati Kumar-Rao “captures this ‘slow violence’ with remarkable grace,ranging from stunning, aerial shots of river systems to intimate portraits anddetailed close-ups.” After viewing Arati’s photos it is reasonable to say that
this assertion is all rather apt. What is most striking about Kumar-Rao’s work is
that it seems evocative of the photography that was taken of farmers living
through the Dust Bowl at the height of the Great Depression. [1 image, 1 link,
