Clover & Ash looks at the landscape of southern West Virginia and the quiet divide that runs through it. East of the Front, the land softens into valleys and farmland, sustained by agriculture, tourism, and the appearance of prosperity. To the west, the Appalachian Plateau bears the remnants of coal—hollowed towns, dark seams in the hillsides, and the slow return of nature where the work has gone. These photographs are an observation of both worlds—not in opposition but in relation—where beauty and exhaustion often occupy the same ground.
