Vacant lots and undeveloped parcels on the edges of the city are photographed with the neutral, promotional framing of a real estate listing, each one presented as though it were a genuine opportunity for a buyer. Stripped of any actual sales copy, the barren sites are left to speak for themselves, exposing the gap between speculative language and the empty ground it describes.
