Manufactured Landscapes by Edward Burtynsky

Nature transformed through industry is a predominate theme in my work...These images are meant as metaphors to the dilemma of our modern existence...Our dependence on nature to provide the materials for our consumption and our concern for the health of our planet sets us into an uneasy contradiction.
