Carruth constructs a visual tribute to the Snoqualmie Pass Region by weaving together a vintage map with a dense photo collage of the local ecosystem. The composition centers on the iconic Snoqualmie Falls, its movement echoed by the presence of the Rhododendron, Washington’s state flower. By layering these elements, the artist captures the specific textures of the region, from the delicate fronds of ferns to the sturdy silhouettes of evergreens and a log cabin tucked deep within the pines.

The interplay of wildlife and human navigation creates a sense of place that feels both wild and inhabited. Deer antlers and varied tree species emerge from the map’s grid, suggesting a landscape where nature remains unbridled despite the lines of human exploration. The dark background complements the vibrant splashes of color from the flora, inviting a closer look at the dynamic ecosystem that defines this corner of the Pacific Northwest.
