Okayama, Japan — 2017
Photography by Jamaica Jones
 
A grove of trees rests in winter quiet, their trunks softened by moss and time. The land feels tended but not controlled—an orchard shaped by care, patience, and seasonal return. A study in structure yielding gently to nature.
 
Still Ground is a photographic series rooted in land, continuity, and stewardship. These images observe places shaped by natural cycles and long-term care—prairie, stone, water, and built forms that endure within them. Rather than dramatic moments, the work focuses on presence: what remains, what recovers, and how land holds memory through time.
