Sophia Jaworski's picture
February 27, 2020

This created image has a powerful composition, where the blurred lines of a fence frame an image of a snowy field, with a water tower in the distance. The snow is provokative, as it hides the ground underneath, and belies the degree of contamination of the site. At the same time, the forest in the distance seems to abruptly stop, which gives the viewer a clue that something is impacting the land in the foreground.
