Cotton Remembers the Sky

A cotton field stretches toward the horizon beneath a wide eastern North Carolina sky, each white boll catching the last warmth of evening. Above it, clouds gather blue, gold, and pale fire, while the dark tree line holds the field in place.

Cotton Remembers the Sky belongs to that brief hour when the land seems to echo what is happening overhead. The cotton below and the broken clouds above begin to mirror one another, white marks suspended across earth and air.

The photograph lingers in that exchange between field and sky, where light settles into the crop and the landscape seems to carry a memory of the weather passing through it.
