Poles.
This work immerses the viewer in an atmosphere of solitude and detachment, embodied in pristine power supply poles that persist in their function yet stand as overlooked sentinels in the landscape. Once indispensable to human progress, they still channel unseen currents, still transmit energy, still interlace distant lives, but they do so in anonymity, their presence unremarked, their significance unspoken.
These poles remain upright, immutable, silent keepers of the civilization they sustain. They vibrate with electricity, yet their role fades into the background of everyday life. Their rigid forms stretch skyward, yearning toward the infinite, yet they remain anchored to the earth, indispensable, yet disregarded; ever-functioning, yet unseen.
Timeless, impassive, indifferent to recognition, they exist in a space between necessity and oblivion. They have no eyes, yet they witness the steady flow of time. They have no ears, yet they absorb the sounds of the village that encircles them, unconscious of their silent watch. They are neither abandoned nor valued, present, yet distant.
This work explores the paradox of visibility and erasure, how something can be vital yet imperceptible, functional yet forsaken in thought. These poles, once emblems of progress, now endure in quiet isolation, still working, still waiting, still there, integral, yet lost within their own familiarity.
