Christina McFaul explores the natural world through the youthful eyes of her two boys, discovering the magic and mysteries of the wilderness. She and her children transform in these encounters with nature, becoming one with it. They embark on a quest to find the essence of being, something reminiscent of the sanctuary our ancient forebears discovered before the dawn of civilization. The artist invites viewers to see the world anew — full of curiosity, wonder, and awe for nature. The book tells a story within nature, journeying to our inner child, seeking peace and purpose in our pure being, finding solace in the wild, and uncovering a sense of belonging in the world through nature.
