Pollution is a pervasive and enduring crisis, making it a compelling theme for Suzanne C. Nagy’s lightbox series. Through her innovative use of illuminated "Capsules," Nagy transforms photographic images into layered, three-dimensional statements, visually confronting environmental degradation. Her work bridges the realms of art and environmental consciousness, prompting dialogue between industry and individuals, destruction and restoration.

By embedding altered images in an epoxy solution, Nagy captures the complexities of pollution and the urgent need for remediation. Her aesthetic choices mirror the tension between harm and healing, resonating with the pressing realities of industrial impact. This series not only reflects her artistic vision but also serves as a call to awareness, emphasizing the intersection of economy, ecology, and art in addressing one of the most critical issues of our time.
