A Residential Street in Lahaina, Hawaii, 2023
This image was taken by Patrick T. Fallon of a residential street in Lahaina, Hawaii, following the wildfires that burned in early August of 2023. In the image is a street with the charred remains of homes that have been destroyed. Shot against the backdrop of the ocean there is contrast between the blue waters the Pacific Island is revered for and the scorched palm tree, leaves drooping from the burn. This image highlights the devastating reality of the fires, leaving thousands of people and families displaced. Communities like this are at the frontlines of the climate crisis, and this image puts into view the literal loss of resources to mitigate these events. Label by Annabelle Marcais
