Biophilia is an ongoing exploration of human interactions with natural heritage sites in the United States. The odyssey has so far spanned 30,000-miles and captured 100,000 images and clips from around the country over the past 10 years.

Initially intended to capture beautiful landscapes, Biophilia quickly evolved to document the consequential impacts of a changing climate on environments that have been stable for thousands of years. The alarming contrasts observed since 2008 took the abstraction of climate change and turned it into a tangibly visual experience; it confronts the viewer with meditations on creation, energy, attachments, identity, loss, and the memories that remain.

These images collected since 2008 show National Parks evolving over time.
