Kazuhiko Washio - To the Sea, 2014

“The sea is not only, as Charles Baudelaire wrote, a mirror of the soul. It is our element, and it is our blood and our life. The poison which we let flow into it also flows in our veins. The harm that we do to it destroys our own flesh. Every picture of this marvellous book is valuable, because they are not just pictures, or rather they should be what all pictures are in our world of superabundance: a copy of life, a making sacred of the real. ” (from an introduction by Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio for Kazuhiko Washio’s “To the Sea”.)
