The kitsch object of the snow globe became popularized during a time of industrialization, responding to a deep-seated need for connection with a disappearing natural world. As our modern landscapes continue to transform, I ask questions about what kinds of sites evoke nostalgia now. By trapping the modern-day industrial landscape in miniature, I attempt to gain power over it, even as these sites rest in a permanent nuclear winter.
