EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a striking scene at the Trypillian thermal power plant in Kiev, Ukraine. In the foreground, a massive pile of coal dominates the warehouse, serving as a powerful symbol of energy production and industrialization. The image showcases the immense scale and importance of this vital resource for powering cities and industries. The composition is enhanced by an imposing industrial chimney towering above the coal pile, releasing plumes of smoke into the clear blue sky. This juxtaposition between man-made structures and nature's vastness highlights both our reliance on fossil fuels for energy generation and its impact on our environment. The photographer skillfully captures the atmosphere surrounding this power station - particles of dust float in the air, adding texture to the image while also alluding to potential environmental concerns associated with coal-fired plants. Despite no human presence being visible in this photograph, it serves as a stark reminder that behind every switch we flick or light we turn on lies an intricate network of infrastructure supporting our modern lives. Valentyn Ogirenko's creative use of space allows viewers to contemplate not only how essential coal is for electricity production but also its broader implications on climate change and sustainability. Through his lens, he invites us to reflect upon our energy choices and their long-term consequences for future generations.
