I am not sure whether these are found images or created by the ethnographer. These images are precise, clean, documentary-style. In the first image, I am getting an overview of something. I am about to learn. I am a safe observer. And then, in the second image, I am drawn deeper in. If there were a third, I would expect to be underground, interred.We move along a vertical plane. The feeling this movement gives is one of growing vulnerability. But still, in the second image, I am allowed to stand at a safe distance. Part of me wants to be taken in, to know my own vulnerability and to confront the moment of toxicity - the meeting of the human body, its chemicals, and the soil.
