Sons of the Living is a photobook about the land and people along the highways of America’s deserts. Photographed over the course of a decade across the arid and expansive landscapes of the American West, the work explores human resilience and endurance.

Schutmaat offers a contemporary vision of the “open road,” reflecting on a new era of uncertainty and anxiety. Against a backdrop of environmental decline, economic dispossession, and social neglect, Sons of the Living draws attention to the challenges ahead while searching for signs of hope and the strength to endure.
