A sweeping aerial photograph captures the dramatic landscape of Wushan along the Yangtze River, where the rising waters of the Three Gorges Dam project have submerged ancient terrain and reshaped the contours of an entire civilization. Burtynsky's large-scale chromogenic print renders the scene in rich, saturated tones, highlighting the tension between natural grandeur and the profound environmental and human consequences of industrial intervention. The image serves as both a document and a meditation on transformation, displacement, and the irreversible marks left by humanity on the natural world.
