Time stops for nothing, but Heather Hacker does.
Behind The Scenes
As buildings crumble and old lives are forgotten, Heather makes a point to pause and dutifully capture what history has left behind. The result is an arresting collection of works that illustrates the melancholy beauty of time marching forward.
