In this atmospheric image from koitz’s The Meat Rack Series, Brock looks upward while kneeling among the charred trees of the Meat Rack on Fire Island. Photographed in the aftermath of the 2014 fire, the scene is defined by blackened branches, scorched trunks, and the stark textures of a landscape transformed by fire. Brock’s upward gaze introduces a contemplative quality to the photograph, drawing attention away from the destruction around him and toward the space above. His body becomes part of the altered woodland, creating a quiet dialogue between the human figure and the damaged natural environment. The image reflects koitz’s exploration of queer identity, desire, nature, and resilience. Through the contrast of the intimate human figure and the haunting remains of the forest, the photograph finds beauty and possibility in the aftermath of destruction, capturing the Meat Rack as a place of memory, freedom, and transformation.
