The first time I saw the image of the polluted air and stream, my first reaction was complete and utter disgust. All of the life has been choked out of this stream due to the runoff from the local factory in rural China. I wanted to transform it completely, in hopes of restoring it to the time before the factory. In my new image the sky is a pleasant blue, the water is cleaned up and the smoggy factory has been transformed into grassy hills with a tree in the distance.
