Elizabeth Cavaliere Reclamation

The ability of the landscape to reclaim
itself after human intervention provides
an optimism for the planet during
the current green crisis. Reclamation
by the marshes of Sackville, New
Brunswick represents the digestion of
modernism’s symbols and leftovers. The
industrial park’s abandoned machinery
has been reclaimed as the marsh’s own
and is now camouflaged by the texture
of nature. Throughout Reclamation,
nature’s degradation of human presence
encourages the contemplation of a
post-human environment.
