Silent Presence
The power and scale of our need for energy hidden in plain sight. Experienced as a lurking force of change, the movement of earth, low frequency hum of mining equipment and the working lights shining in the night sky. Villages, forests, and land standing in the way of its expansion offering little resistance. Opposition comes from ideas, acted out in protests, occupations and policy decisions which gradually guide our search for energy in new directions, in light of a future where our desire to live fully doesn’t constrict our life. However, for now, the lights are on and the coal keeps burning.
