a new project: At road's end
In Alaska, the end of the road is as much a state of mind as it is a physical place on the map where civilization dissolves into wilderness. It draws the solitary, the restless, and those seeking distance from their past. Here, the line between being lost and choosing to be unseen blurs. Snowstorms erase tracks, daylight disappears for months, and silence stretches for hundreds of miles. For some, this isolation offers peace; for others, it becomes a place of reckoning.
This project follows the road from Prudhoe Bay to Homer, two endpoints on Alaska’s only north-south route, the Dalton Highway. The route passes through the oil fields of the far north, where infrastructure is minimal and darkness lasts half the year, and continues toward Homer Spit, a narrow strip of gravel extending into the ocean, often referred to as the end of the road.
On September 4th, the journey to Alaska begins. Along the way, more updates will be shared to document how the project unfolds.
How much does the wilderness shape the fate of those who arrive?
