EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Trevor Page showcases the reinforced Yangtze embankments at the new town of Wanxian in China's Chongqing province. The image captures the immense scale and engineering prowess required to protect this area against rising water levels and landslides. The photograph serves as a stark reminder of the transformative power of human intervention, as it reveals that the old town of Wanxian has already been submerged due to the Three Gorges Dam project. This ambitious undertaking aimed to harness hydroelectric energy but came at a cost for those living in its path. In this image, we witness both resilience and vulnerability coexisting side by side. The fortified embankments stand tall, symbolizing humanity's determination to safeguard their communities from natural disasters. At the same time, they serve as a poignant reminder of how progress can reshape landscapes and displace entire populations. Trevor Page skillfully captures not only the physicality of these reinforced structures but also conveys an emotional narrative through his lens. The composition invites viewers to reflect on our relationship with nature and consider both the benefits and consequences that arise from altering our environment. This powerful print prompts us to contemplate our responsibility towards balancing development with preservation, reminding us that every decision we make today will shape tomorrow's world.
