A protective helmet of a nuclear plant worker who participated in the efforts to contain the 2011 disaster. Shattered pipes, cables, and broken infrastructure reflected in its visor create a chaotic mosaic of ruins that captures the dramatic aftermath of the explosions. In the background of this apocalyptic scene, cooling towers and plant chimneys can be seen emitting thick, dark smoke, symbolizing contamination and irreversible damage.
