At the Salton Sea, CA

Location: At the Salton Sea, on the dried muddy shore of the Red Hill Marina.

Condition: Only the bottom of a turquoise sandal remains, twisted and bent in the heat just as the dying talapia did, struggling for their last breath in the oxygen poor/algae rich murky waters of the Salton Sea.

A Desert Death

Location: Dumped or lost on the sands of Ocotillo in the Anza Borrego desert.

Condition: Arid and barren - no water and apparently without life. A woman's frayed white tennis shoe bakes relentlessly, cracks apart on the sole line and bleaches chalky bone white.
