Water: Edward Burtynsky
OPEN NOW| FREE
Burtynsky’s global portrait explores humanity’s increasingly stressed relationship with water, the world’s most vital natural resource. These 13 hauntingly beautiful photographic images encourage us to ponder whether current water-management strategies are among humankind’s great achievements or its most dangerous failures. The CMA is pleased to present this exhibition as part of Cuyahoga50.
