"Imagine a world where humanity suddenly disappears tomorrow."

​

— From the opening of The World Without Us by Alan Weisman

​

​

This photographic series is inspired by the opening of The World Without Us, which invites readers to imagine a world where humanity suddenly disappears without explanation. It asks whether the traces we leave behind, preserved in the form of buildings and infrastructure, could tell the story of a time when humans reshaped the landscape to build their own civilization.

In the absence of humanity, these remaining traces invite those who encounter them to question who we were and what our civilization once meant.
