Blades of Change

Nuclear Fan Blades
Transformed Into Art

An equitable nuclear arts and storytelling initiative — creating sculptures from over 200 industrial fan blades rerouted from the landfill.

Art With Purpose

Blades of Change facilitates an outlet for those who are ready to tell their stories and raise their voices through artistic expression. It links artists across generations, cultures, and movements by providing a unifying and evocative found object as a sculptural base.
