sun, water, being
“For two decades, Bryant Austin documented the interplay between the sun, water, and the eye, which he calls the ‘window to the soul’, of whales and dolphins. His exploration with the sun, water and being is a discipline of listening and fine tuning. Through this book, ‘sun, water, being’, we discover these three elements that Austin shows us coalesce and unite to the vastness of the cosmos in a deep and profound connection.” Datz Press, 2020.
