A welding curtain from the Nováky Coal Power Plant captures the essence of the plant’s final days. Stretched over a frame, it reveals burn marks, oil stains, and decades of wear—marks of the essential maintenance work that kept the plant running for 70 years. This curtain, now a relic of a once-thriving industrial site in the artist’s hometown, bears witness to the closure of the plant in late 2023. As a cornerstone employer in the region, the power plant shaped the lives of its workforce and the identity of the community. Its closure signalled the end of an era and the loss of a vital source of stability.
