Waterschei, Belgium 2006

"Waterschei, Belgium" is a 2006 photograph by Witho Worms, a Belgian photographer born in 1959. The image depicts a large, man-made mound covered in trees, likely a spoil heap or slag heap, a common sight in the industrial region of Waterschei. The monochromatic tones and stark composition give the image a haunting feel, highlighting the impact of industrial activity on the landscape. The work exemplifies Worms' interest in exploring the relationship between nature and human intervention, often focusing on post-industrial sites and the subtle beauty they possess.
