The image conceptualizes the "In/Visibility" of toxicity in otherwise sweeping scenic landscapes. The transposed glowing rods at the woman's feet could almost go unnoticed at a cursory glance, but the rods are indeed visible elements in the frame. Oncen noticed the glowing neon color draws attention toward it, obscuring the otherwise vastness of the frame.
The image evoked an eerie calmness for me.
The title of the image could also be Chemicals in Plain Sight. The image thoughtfully plays between the idea of plain sight and camouflage. Instead of hiding the rods among the trees, where they might better blend in, or transposing them on the water where they would really stick out, the artist carefully places the rods such that they are in/visible.
Due to the scope of the image, my eye first went to the broader expanse in the background. It wasn't until reading the explanation that I looked closely enough to see the transposed rods from the exhibition. I wonder if there isn't any way to scale this differently so that this could be conveyed more clearly as it seems to be the most salient point of the image.
