Because this radiant form is nothing more than polluted groundwater: a product of chemical reactions in lignite extraction. Suddenly, any sense of gratitude has dissipated.<\/p>\n<p>It is this emotional roller coaster that makes Tom Hegen\u2019s photographs so unique. He is a master puppeteer of the id and super-ego of observers, who are continuously forced to curb their instinctive delight at the image with a guilty conscience about the destruction depicted. And this destruction cannot be blamed on sinister, anonymous forces, on \u201cthose up there.\u201d No, this destruction is happening because of us and our modern lifestyle.<\/p>\n<p>The power of Hegen\u2019s approach can be seen in his other images, which are now available in his book \u201cHabitat.\u201d Take the \u201cTwo Degrees Celsius\u201c series, for example, where he finds astonishing beauty in the melting of the Greenland ice sheet. In one image, a turquoise-colored river cuts through the pure white, creating a false sense of calm and balance.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-k3enervc-9f659a9f9f46ff86f903f7dedcaed760\">\n.avia-image-container.av-k3enervc-9f659a9f9f46ff86f903f7dedcaed760 .avia-image-container-inner{\ntransform:scale3d( 1, 1, 1 ) skew( 0, 0 ) translate3d( 0, 0, 0 );\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-k3enervc-9f659a9f9f46ff86f903f7dedcaed760 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-k3enervc-9f659a9f9f46ff86f903f7dedcaed760 .av-caption-image-overlay-bg{\nopacity:0.4;\nbackground-color:#000000;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-k3enervc-9f659a9f9f46ff86f903f7dedcaed760 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\nfont-size:12px;\n}\n\n@media only screen and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 989px){ \n.avia-image-container.av-k3enervc-9f659a9f9f46ff86f903f7dedcaed760 .avia-image-container-inner{\ntransform:scale3d( 1, 1, 1 ) skew( 0, 0 ) translate3d( 0, 0, 0 );\n}\n}\n\n@media only screen and (min-width: 480px) and (max-width: 767px){ \n.avia-image-container.av-k3enervc-9f659a9f9f46ff86f903f7dedcaed760 .avia-image-container-inner{\ntransform:scale3d( 1, 1, 1 ) skew( 0, 0 ) translate3d( 0, 0, 0 );\n}\n}\n\n@media only screen and (max-width: 479px){ \n.avia-image-container.av-k3enervc-9f659a9f9f46ff86f903f7dedcaed760 .avia-image-container-inner{\ntransform:scale3d( 1, 1, 1 ) skew( 0, 0 ) translate3d( 0, 0, 0 );\n}\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-k3enervc-9f659a9f9f46ff86f903f7dedcaed760 av-styling-no-styling av-hover-grow av-hide-overflow avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  av-custom-transform noHover av-overlay-on-hover'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sonnenallee.sma.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Tom_Hegen_SMA_Solar-3_R-736x1030.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/sonnenallee.sma.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Tom_Hegen_SMA_Solar-3_R-736x1030.jpg 736w, https:\/\/sonnenallee.sma.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Tom_Hegen_SMA_Solar-3_R-214x300.jpg 214w, https:\/\/sonnenallee.sma.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Tom_Hegen_SMA_Solar-3_R-768x1075.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sonnenallee.sma.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Tom_Hegen_SMA_Solar-3_R-1071x1500.jpg 1071w, https:\/\/sonnenallee.sma.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Tom_Hegen_SMA_Solar-3_R-504x705.jpg 504w, https:\/\/sonnenallee.sma.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Tom_Hegen_SMA_Solar-3_R-450x630.jpg 450w, https:\/\/sonnenallee.sma.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Tom_Hegen_SMA_Solar-3_R.jpg 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 736px) 100vw, 736px\" class='avia_image' ><div class=\"av-image-caption-overlay\"><div class=\"av-caption-image-overlay-bg\"><\/div><div class=\"av-image-caption-overlay-position\"><div class=\"av-image-caption-overlay-center\"><p>From the &#8220;Two Degrees Celsius&#8221; series<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><img decoding=\"async\" class='wp-image-1326 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-1326 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/sonnenallee.sma.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Tom_Hegen_SMA_Solar-3_R-845x321.jpg\" alt='' title='Tom_Hegen_SMA_Solar-3_R'  height=\"321\" width=\"845\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-hm5a1-e33e9b583b0998541c1cbb216dc489b0\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-hm5a1-e33e9b583b0998541c1cbb216dc489b0 .avia_textblock{\n-webkit-column-count:2;\n-moz-column-count:2;\ncolumn-count:2;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-hm5a1-e33e9b583b0998541c1cbb216dc489b0'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock av_multi_colums'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Another photograph from the series is slightly darker, but no less beautiful.
