Encountering the Soul of Nature: Images, Faith and Our Shared Planet

$295.00

At the heart of this volume is an original, deeply reflective essay by research scientist and artist Dr. HJ Yang. Bridging the worlds of science, art, and spirituality, the essay explores the profound relationships among photography, scientific curiosity, nature, and faith. Dr. Yang reveals how science explains the intricate mechanisms of our planet, while art captures its emotional and spiritual resonance—inviting us to look beyond the surface and rediscover a sense of awe and to take action to protect our shared planet.

Serving as the official companion and guidebook to the HJ Yang Gallery™ for Nature and Wildlife at the CW Resort and Private Marina in Clearwater Beach, Florida, this book presents a comprehensive record of the gallery's permanent exhibition.
