Michigan photographer Meg Loeks reflects on our responsibility to future generations and the world they will inherit.
“Photographed at Silver Lake Sand Dunes in Michigan, this portrait of my daughter is part of After Us, a series exploring a future shaped by what we leave behind and the quiet consequences carried by those who come after us.”
