Radioactive Art
Radwaste Trilogy · Book 1
The Radwaste Trilogy focuses on the life and artistic work of Harry C. Tabak, particularly the radioactive waste series inspired by his job in the "radwaste" industry in the 1970s. It is told through a father-and-son dialogue set in the present and reflecting on the past. As a project that now spans several decades, Tabak's Radwaste series has a haunting beauty that draws our attention, and then channels that focus towards our harmful environmental impacts on both land and oceans.
The story and artwork inspires us with its timeless environmental messages, and asks us to consider our roles in creating a future of greater harmony with the rest of the planet.
