The enslaved burial ground is a liminal space, existing at the margins of geography, society, time, and life itself. The images for this project were made in five antebellum cemeteries on the slopes of Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains. Positioned at the edges of historic plantations, these cemeteries lay outside formal records, denying the humanity of the enslaved even in death. They serve as a bridge between past and present, holding memories that erode with time yet resist disappearance. As burial sites, they mark the final boundary—the divide between the living and the dead. These graves, marked only by crude stones, testify to lives lived in the shadows of slavery. Yet these burial grounds are spaces of quiet resistance. Despite bondage in life, the enslaved claimed these places for mourning and remembrance. Burial practices often crossed plantation boundaries, preserving family ties despite forced separations. Many of these sites have faded through neglect and development. Yet they persist, silent markers of an alternate history, shaped by lives lived without legal recognition but with enduring presence.
