small oil

traces the tangle of legal loopholes, inherited responsibility, and geographic distance that keeps extraction going. Centered on an abandoned oil spill on a privately owned ranch in West Texas, the work reveals how remote sites of contamination become sacrifice zones. These are places where land, water, bodies, and futures are still quietly consumed. Shielded by property lines and overlooked by regulation, this damage remains hard to see and even harder to name.

That invisibility is exactly what allows it to persist.
