Devoe Street refuge
For his series “Take Refuge,” Cooley built a snow fort on Devoe Street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and lit an emergency flare inside it. He says he likes the ambiguity of flares “because you don’t know if it’s a distressed situation or just a fire.” (2011)

Some of the photos do convey a sense of loneliness but my initial feeling is of a sense of hope for others. The existence of a point of artificial light in a vast landscape makes me feel less alone. Amazing photos either way.
