Delpire & Co publishes "M/E," a photobook by Japanese photographer Rinko Kawauchi, celebrated for her soft, luminous images that explore the mystery, fragility, and strength of life in all its forms. In "M/E," Kawauchi presents a visual dialogue between Iceland and Japan, with a focus on water in its various manifestations, such as clouds, rain, rainbows, ice, snow, torrents, and mist. The title "M/E" stands for Mother/Earth, highlighting the artist's connection with the natural world. Kawauchi's intuitive approach allows her to capture the ephemeral beauty of the living world, from the delicate dewdrop on a leaf to the majestic collapse of a glacier. Her images, which are not constructed but rather 'just happen,' offer a gentle and singular perspective on the fragile beauty of nature.
