Ravenswood From A Distance

My project focuses on the Ravenswood Generating Station in Queens, New York, one of the city’s major power plants and a long-standing part of its energy infrastructure. I became interested in the plant not because of what it does visibly, but because of how it quietly sits in the city’s background , always present but rarely noticed. During my visits, I never saw smoke from  the chimneys, even though the plant was operating. I wasn’t aiming to capture drama or action. Instead, I wanted to observe how something essential to the city's power could remain visually quiet. That subtle contradiction became the core of my approach. Using a wide-angle lens, I photographed Ravenswood from various corners of the city, rooftops, across rivers, between buildings, and through empty spaces, with the goal of finding structure in chaos.
