Megafires spurred by climate change no longer spare any region of the globe. On November 8, 2018, the megafire Camp Fire ravaged Paradise, California, killing 86 people in 4 hours. In 2021, the Dixie Fire started under the same power lines that crisscross the hills around Paradise. The author met those who decided to rebuild their 'paradise' in a place that now seems brutally inhospitable. To account for the intensity of emotion heard in conversations with survivors, the author used infrared slide film, whose blazing colors break into the tenuous normality of their new life, flashbacks of the flames seared on their retinae as they rebuild in the shadow of the next disaster. The tale of Paradise offers a glimpse at the next place that will have to go through healing after a disaster whose causes are, increasingly, human.
