Explorer and artist Abbey Williams has focused her lens on an eclectic collection of ghost towns that litter the American landscape. With a portfolio of haunting images, Williams contemplates the transitory nature of the places we inhabit, ultimately asking: what do these abandoned cityscapes reveal to us about our modern cities and towns?
