The ‘NUCLEAR’ series comprises five evocative photographs, each intricately crafted to convey the potent and perilous nature of nuclear energy. In this collection, various food elements and objects are thoughtfully employed to visually communicate and symbolize different facets of nuclear energy. The series aims to highlight the dual nature of nuclear energy, showcasing both its immense potential and the devastating consequences it can have, while drawing attention to the delicate balance between its power and peril.
Each photo reflects a specific facet of nuclear energy. From a salt stone that symbolizes nuclear mining to the asparagus that evokes uranium rods in a broken core, the blood orange that represents the devastating ‘Plutonium Demon Core’, a gas mask that signifies the protection of the food chain and nature, and an aluminum can with pulpo in water symbolizes radioactive dumping into the ocean.Â
This series aims to raise awareness and remind people of both the power and risks of nuclear energy. By sparking the viewer’s imagination, ‘NUCLEAR’ encourages a deeper understanding and open conversations about the complex and often debated topic of nuclear power.
