"For 25 years I have created images about the various man-made transformations our civilization has imposed upon nature. And in the course of the evolution of my work, I became anxiously aware of the consequences our actions are having upon the world. As a husband and father, as an entrepreneur and provider, with a deep gratitude for his birthright in a peace loving and bountiful nation, I feel an urgency to make people aware of important things at stake. What we give to the future are the choices we make today."
Edward Burtynsky, Burtynsky China (Gottingen, Germany: SteŽdel Publishers, 2006), 7.
