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. While capturing the alignment of the sun and moon in Yosemite National Park, he experienced his ego diminish and the cosmos exist by itself. Bryant also trains with his breath to achieve a state of wakeful awareness underwater; in a place of silence, reverence and detachment, where he connects with the whales. Through this book, sun, water, being, these three elements coalesce and unite to the vastness of the cosmos in a deep and profound connection.
