Yes, natural disasters are emerging as a new form of landscape narrative in the Anthropocene era. Ruined sites—from Chernobyl to post-hurricane devastation—are aestheticized in art, photography, and "ruin porn," turning catastrophe into spectacle. This blends destruction with beauty, prompting reflection on human vulnerability, climate change, and resilience, while raising ethical questions about glorifying trauma https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/abs/surveying-the-anthropocene/ruin-lustruin-porn-what-ruin-porn-tells-us-about-ruins-and-porn/E8195ADBEBA5D3FD9092E98E3E7BDFA5https://northernnotes.leeds.ac.uk/the-spectacle-of-disaster/
