2. To Bottle An Ocean
Print Specs: Printed on newsprint paper, unbound, 350mm x 250mm (closed), Limited edition of 30 copies.
The book is also currently stocked in BOOKS AND SONS in Tokyo, Japan.
Book Summary: To Bottle An Ocean explores my relationship with water and my disconnection from its sources. The book reflects on water as the foundation of civilization and culture, tracing how, as we distance ourselves from its origins, water loses its depth and meaning. Today, the water I encounter daily feels sterile and impersonal—merely what flows from my tap or flushes down the toilet. This book tells the story of water’s omnipresence yet overlooked significance, while also sharing my journey to reconnect with its origins.
