The Nyoongar season of birth, Kambarang, typically runs from October to November in the Australian south-west. 

These Eucalyptus trees do not drop their leaves, instead shedding their bark during this ‘second Spring’ as preparation for future growth. 

The fallen bark holds an annual accretion of each tree's memories, imprinted by the seasons. 

Kambarang comes to lift fragments of the year from their trunks. 

Receiving and adapting to the change renews these wise trees.

These photos present the integration of two distinct yet coexistent realities.

1. Technological, high-speed and human-made

2. Traditional, slow-paced and nature-based

Nature is a necessary counterpart to this densification. 

Inspired by the balance maintained by satoyama, Nature's rhythms may reconcile a sense of space that has been blurred.

Geothermal water erupts from the Earth. Moonlight bathes the frigid Hokkaido landscape.

Here, Nature’s processes converge over vast distances and timescales into a glittering, glowing onsen...

…A place that deepens the senses; that soaks the mind and body, with everlasting warmth.
