Power - International digital exhibition catalog
In this exhibition, we seek to explore what Power is. Is it a physical meaning, or is strength something internal? Does being strong mean having an advantage over someone and being the first, or is it about willpower when a person has almighty patience and goes step by step to his goal? Does power have gender, man’s superiority over nature, or do time and age affect power? Everyone has their own truth. Let’s think about the meaning of power and show our own vision in this exhibition!

About artwork<br />
In this piece, I explore the impact of hydroelectric towers on the environment, highlighting<br />
power dynamics and the resilience of nature. Challenging beauty ideals, I raise<br />
awareness of consumption’s environmental consequences. Les Tours underscores the<br />
fractured connections between humanity and nature, shedding light on power imbalances.<br />
Juxtaposing the landscape with human-made towers, I provoke contemplation<br />
of beauty and the enduring strength of nature. This piece draws attention to the obliviousness<br />
surrounding our consumption habits and their environmental impact, urging<br />
recognition of power’s influence. Towers symbolize industrial dominance, prompting<br />
reflection on the consequences of unchecked consumption. Ultimately, I aim to ignite<br />
dialogue on our collective responsibility in preserving the environment, urging mindful<br />
consumption. Les Tours showcases nature’s resilience amidst power dynamics.<br />
Artist Statement<br />
I’ve been exploring the ubiquity of hydroelectric towers in our environment and the<br />
impact of industry on North American Indigenous communities. My use of hydro towers<br />
is an attempt to challenge the idea of what constitutes beauty in nature and how we<br />
accept our world without questioning our consumption and its impact on the environment.<br />
Through art, I aim to highlight the fractured quality of our relationship with the<br />
environment and the intentional unawareness of our energy consumption.<br />
