Edward Burtynsky

Edward Burtynsky is a photographer that is particularly interested in the topic of the destruction that human beings have done to our earth. Basically I enjoy watching stuffs that are related to human figures and aren't necessarily visually comfortable, since to me those seemingly "disgusting" or "horrifying" appearances are strongly related to the desire and all kinds of conflicted emotions or complex shared by all mankind. These photos, however, are so direct that they reveals our destruction over our earth in a silent yet violent way, not allowing you to choose your perspectives or standpoints to feel or interpret what you're watching ── except for admitting, "Yes it is us that are ruining our planet." Not a chance to deny.
