Over 30,000 rocket fragments, astronaut tools, and mission clamps float high above our heads in an earth-bound orbit. In Orbital Debris, Amy Lerman explores humans' peripheral, intentional, and random connections in the spaces that lie between, away, ago-those intimate moments, in time where "the only thing . . . that makes the emptiness bearable is each other."
