Will Warasila presents his photography work for his thesis to complete MFAIEDA (experimental documentary arts). His work is focused on explorations of the impact of coal ash on the Belews Creek community and residents of Walnut Cove and the Southeastern Stokes County Community.

“The people of Walnut Cove, North Carolina are living in the shadow of Duke Energy’s Belews Creek Steam Station, where toxic coal ash is kept in a massive unlined storage pond and toxins are pumped into the air, water, and soil. I have been exploring the ways of life of the residents, the affected landscape, and the silent power structures that Duke Energy employs.”
