Explore the connection between land, labor, and perspective. Through striking aerial imagery and intimate portraiture, the exhibition invites visitors to see Vermont’s working landscapes in a new point of view.

From above, Vermont’s farms, quarries, and forests transform into unexpected geometric patterns, vivid shapes and colors visible only from the sky. Yet every line and texture reflects generations of human work, stewardship, and care.

Grounded by portraits of the people who shape these places, Kenna’s images spark a conversation about scale, responsibility, and presence. Each photograph offers a window into the evolving relationship between people and the natural world.

From the expansive to the intimate, the orderly to the wild, these images ask essential questions:

What changes when we shift our perspective?
How do we understand the people and the processes that shape our landscapes?
What role do we play in sustaining these places for generations to come?
