Global warming is a daunting problem, but unlike many of our other challenges the solutions are all around us. Sunlight is ubiquitous and an unlimited source of power and electricity. Our fossil fuels – coal, oil, and natural gas – represent solar energy that was captured in prehistoric times. Sunflowers, which Native Americans domesticated thousands of years ago, can produce six hundred pounds of oil per acre, useable for biofuel. Like modern solar panels, sunflowers tilt toward the sun throughout the day to maximize energy production. I wanted to create a multiple-exposure image that would represent some of these themes, illustrating the myriad connections between sunlight, photosynthesis, and electricity and the potential for changing our energy systems in a beneficial direction.
