BP Carson Refinery, California from American Power

A large-scale chromogenic print by Mitch Epstein depicting the sprawling BP Carson oil refinery in California, captured with the sharp detail and vivid color palette characteristic of his acclaimed *American Power* series. Epstein's composed, large-format approach transforms the industrial complex into an almost sublime landscape, inviting viewers to contemplate the visual and environmental weight of America's energy infrastructure. The flush-mounted presentation enhances the image's bold, immersive quality, blurring the line between documentary photography and fine art.
