Through this juxtaposition\, Riffe offers a reflection on secularization in Appalachia—highlighting churches that remain centers of community alongside those that stand unused\, weathered\, or forgotten. Together\, the photographs explore themes of faith\, memory\, and cultural transition\, documenting how belief and tradition continue to evolve across the Appalachian region.
