Joy Kachina, The Last Stand (ART 2026)

Cider Gums are now facing extinction, their survival tightly linked to the health of the understory and the wider plant community. When this fragile web breaks down, young saplings can’t survive. Through my photography, using In-Camera Multiple Exposures, I hope to highlight both the beauty of these trees and the urgent need to protect the interconnected ecosystem that sustains them.
