In this atmospheric photograph from koitz’s The Meat Rack Series, Brock explores the fire-scarred landscape of the Meat Rack on Fire Island, moving through the charred woodland in boots. His figure is surrounded by blackened trunks and burnt branches, creating an eerie and otherworldly setting shaped by the aftermath of the 2014 fire.The boots and exploratory posture give the image a sense of movement and discovery, contrasting with the stillness of the damaged forest. Brock appears to navigate this transformed landscape with curiosity and confidence, his presence bringing a distinctly human and intimate dimension to the scorched environment. koitz turns the aftermath of the fire into a visual meditation on queer identity, nature, desire, and renewal. The Meat Rack becomes more than a location—it becomes a space of exploration and transformation, where the body moves through a landscape marked by destruction while revealing unexpected beauty in its shadows, textures, and remains.
