Withering Heights is a series of photographs taken in early Winter at Australia's largest cactus farm,
229 kilometers from Melbourne city. Tall, still and sharp, the cacti caught in these photos embody growth
and virility. Yet it is this rapid germination that causes them to outgrow their strength, fall and die.
