LOCATION: Tecopa, California
Exploring the concept of life of struggle in an isolated mobile park adjacent to Death Valley, devoid of vitality. Smith's voyeuristic view into an otherworldliness of a place is overcome by the overbearing arid environment. Tecopa presents itself as a seemingly homey environment with a sense of desperation for normalcy with the implementation of dramatic coping mechanisms.
