Energetic Nature

Project Statement

Energy

Fact:

Everything around you is Energy. It can come in different forms – mechanical, thermal, radiant, electrical, chemical or nuclear.

Peaking Energy

Fact:

Electricity is the flow of electrical power or charge.

Field of Energy

Fact:

Human civilizations have harnessed wind power for thousands of years. Early forms of windmills used wind to crush grain or pump water.

Traveling Energy

Fact:

The use of the word energy dates all the way back to the 4th century BC.

Glowing Energy

Fact:

Electricity is both a basic part of nature and one of the most widely used forms of energy.

Blowing Energy

Fact:

Wind energy is the only form of alternative energy that doesn’t require water.

Blooming Energy

Fact:

Renewable energy is a form of clean energy that is provided by natural sources in nature.

Shining Energy

Fact:

Energy use in America is doubling every 20 years.

Rising Energy

Fact:

One wind turbine can produce enough electricity to power up to 300 homes!

Shaped Energy

Fact:

Although electricity is neither a renewable nor nonrenewable source of energy, it often comes from both renewable and nonrenewable sources.

Transformed Energy

Fact:

Although electricity is neither a renewable nor nonrenewable source of energy, it often comes from both renewable and nonrenewable sources.

Moving Energy

Fact:

Groups of wind turbines, sometimes called wind farms, are located on open land, on mountain ridges.

Tall Energy

Fact:

Wind turbines can be as tall as 200 meters (656 feet) and have blades that can move at a speed of up to 200 mph.

Wired Energy

Fact:

Most forms of electrical energy in objects must be confined by wire when being used.

Growing Energy

Fact:

Wind energy provides more than 10% of total electricity generation in fourteen states, and more than 30% in four of those states—Iowa, Kansas, Oklahoma, and South Dakota.

Split Energy

Fact:

When two charged objects are brought near each other, they either attract or repel each other which generate electrical energy.

Energetic Nature

Project Statement

When the thought of the natural landscape comes to mind, it is perceived as a land that is untouched and true to its’ design without interruption. The industrial energy growth of the world is expanding at a rapid rate and is starting to merge with these landscapes we once considered natural. For so long I refused to accept the collision of two worlds. I considered that human expansion into nature was a distraction and destruction to beautiful and natural landscapes. In time, I learned how to shift my focus and see this merge in a positive light. There may yet be hope for the relationship between humans and the natural landscapes.

Energetic Nature documents and depicts the aesthetics of nature’s fusion with man-made energy. Nature has delivered the platform for humans to create the energy necessary to maintain our daily need for energy. The purpose of this project to inform those who appreciate nature to see that there are sacrifice and compromise in creating an amazing aesthetical environment.
