Another view of the worlds largest dam in operation, and another message as well. In this attempt, I compose an image around three elements—linking a larger view of the dam itself, to a blast of water being released at its base, and the power towers that surround the project. I organized this image around a series of horizontal layers. At the base is frothing water and an explosive thrust of pent up energy coming through the dam. The middle layer features the dam’s upper portion, a series of vertical niches that carry the eye across the frame towards the base of the powerlines in the upper right hand corner. The top layer includes a red tower, an echo of the two similar red towers the bottom, as well as the powerline towers themselves. Diffusion caused by spray on my lens gives the image and its colors an overall muted tone, bringing a dream-like aura to the scene.
