All the water on the planet that is here right now, is all that will ever be here. It is in the oceans, lakes, rivers, glaciers, in the air, our bodies and our drinking water.. circulating and recirculating. As the water flows through our veins, so too it runs through the landscape, carrying nutrients, filtering, cleaning and providing ecosystems with vital ingredients for life.
Brooke Holm is an Australian/American photographic artist born in California, USA. Her instinctual love for nature, environmental protection, sustainability, conservation and the desire to question the way things are, have largely contributed to her fine art practice and its constant evolution. Brooke is currently based in New York City where she continues to examine the relationship between humans and nature – and to find a voice within the climate crisis we all face.
