The I-95 corridor between New York City and Philadelphia — a heavily traveled stretch of highway crossed by millions. For many, this route defines New Jersey with its distinct and familiar scent. Views along the way are often obscured by towering concrete sound barriers, shielding the adjacent neighborhoods from the constant roar of traffic.

Yet, in brief glimpses beyond the guardrails, the monotony breaks. These fleeting views offer an escape from the gridlock — revealing landscapes that seem frozen in time as we speed past. Here lies a world humanity has built amidst forests and wetlands — an environment we believe we’ve conquered, yet one with which we remain in quiet conflict.
