Oil Fields
By Edward Burtynsky
“Nature transformed through industry is the predominant theme in my work. The images are meant as metaphors for the dilemma of our modern existence as I search for a visual dialogue between attraction and repulsion, seduction and fear….our dependence on nature to provide materials for our consumption, and our concern for the health of our planet sets us into an uneasy contradiction. For me, these images function as reflecting pools of our times.”
