Eye of industry

Eye of industry. 2019.

From above, the storage tank turns into an enormous eye, its dark ring and rusted streaks radiating across the pale metal like an iris caught mid-blink. The geometry of pipes and catwalks around the circle pulls it back into the realm of infrastructure, but the centre still reads as something organic and watchful. I am interested in how heavy industry can accidentally draw its own symbols, leaving marks that feel closer to painting than to engineering.
