Far Above Dam

Glen Canyon Dam. The other side is Lake Powell, once the largest reservoir in U.S. In recent years, the water level dropped at times to 40% of full scale. What you saw is a worker operating on a bed of algae. Look how small a human is, yet how huge impact humans can make on environment.

About Artist

Zili Zhang

Zili Zhang is a fine art photographer based in Greenwich, Connecticut. His work has been widely exhibited in juried art shows, community art centers, and commercial galleries in the Northeast area. His portfolio showcases two extremes of the spectrum: minimalistic nature and chaotic streets. Yet, they both serve the same purpose: to tell a story and evoke emotions.
