ASHPONDS OF POLAND To enlighten our houses, to charge phones, watch screens, cooling our food in the refrigerator, dry hair, just to name a few, we need current in the cables. One of the energy production sources are thermal power plants. But they are the world's biggest pollution sources! After coal combustion in thermal power stations, strongly alkaline mud, slag, dust-ash, gypsum and sulphur dioxide waste delivered by pipeline is mixed with chemicals for neutralization to be deposited by stacking method. During the process toxic material leaking into the ground and evaporating from the giant ponds covering in some cases more than 2 sq mile. Series exploring ashponds and chemical residue pools, hidden or unreachable places from a new angle. It stimulates an aesthetic response, and thus dialog about the destructive out tendencies. The ambiguity of what is depicted, and the apparent toxicity suggested by the saturated colors pervading these colossal human-made sites, however, leave one with an overall sense of alarm. This series is effective duality of attraction and abhorrence, of water pollution and healing power of water and our own complicity, and art’s complicity in barbarism. Producing all these sources contributes significantly to global warming and polluting our planet, called Home. Part of Water.Shapes.Earth serie
