We invite you to capture with a single shot that which, by definition, cannot be stopped, contained, or limited.
By now, you hear about energy every day and the countless ways it enhances our lives.
But if it’s true, as it is, that energy is everything, then embrace its myriad forms—less political, but certainly more poetic—those the news will never tell you about.
Indeed, every manifestation of nature is energy. Every heartbeat, every quiver, every surge, every burst. Think of the ocean's surging waves, as well as the slow movement of the roots of a centuries-old tree.
Consider also the ceaseless activity of humankind and the symbol of all its energy: the modern city.
Think about it and create a depiction of it.
