A set of windows in the control room looking out toward the Shimizusawa Dam and its hydroelectric power plant—two eras of power generation, now seen through fractured glass. Once, these windows framed an active industrial landscape, where coal-fired energy met the steady flow of hydroelectric power beyond. Now, the dam remains in operation, while the thermal plant sits in silence, its rusting framework frozen in time. The glass is cracked, the frames corroded, but the view remains—a contrast between what endures and what has been left behind.
This art photography print captures the haunting contrast between progress and abandonment, making it a compelling piece of wall art for those drawn to industrial history and the passage of time.
