Gregory Colbert
"Ashes and Snow is photographer Gregory Colbert's extraordinary project that illuminates his vision of a world in which animals peacefully coexist with humans. It is an ongoing project that weaves together photographic works, a film, art installations and a novel in letters.
Ashes and Snow attempts to lift the natural and artificial barriers between humans and other species, dissolving the distance that exists between them. The project aims to reawaken in us an understanding of our shared animal nature. This insight will affect the way we behave in our environment and help us find the empathy and wisdom to interact peacefully in a world that was once one.
The Nomadic Museum is the permanent home of Ashes and Snow, a traveling exhibition of Colbert's work. Proceeds from the Nomadic Museum fund the charitable activities of Flying Elephants Foundation."

Thank you for highlighting this! It is such gorgeous, transporting work. I bought several hand-crafted books of his photos a couple years ago and gave them to my mother as a present, who has since used them as inspirations for her painting and charcoal work.
Been awhile since I've seen these… thanks for the reminder.
Breathtaking aren't they?!
Blessings, David
