Product Details Hardcover Wellswood Press Published 2005 Publisher's Description:
'I have always been drawn to the sea. I find its mere presence calming and yet at the same moment omniscient. With this series I am exploring the totality and timeless power of mother earth’s very source of life—as seen from the shore, in shadows, in rainstorms and at night. I was interested in capturing its power and its delicacy. We live our lives believing we are in control of everything when in fact we are in control of nothing. We cover our earth in concrete and metal. We are overwhelmed with information. We wage wars to conquer and divide. And yet, we are here for but a second while the ocean defines eternity. There is no irony in the sea. No politics or religion—just raw, primal power and grace. The sea is and will always be in our entire subconscious. The womb we will all one day return to.' - Leslie Sokolow
