Tatsuno, Japan — 2017
Photography by Jamaica Jones
 
A rusted steel container sits beside a cultivated field, its surface weathered by years of exposure. The contrast between cultivated land and industrial material speaks to use, adaptation, and the quiet coexistence of labor and landscape.
 
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.
