The first volume soars straight up towards the sky. The gaze is guided along the branches, plummets with a waterfall, falls with the snow and happily follows the outline of the shoreline or the contour of the stones.

The second volume caresses the earth. The horizon, architect of each image, invites the gaze to lose itself in the storm, to merge with the mountain peaks or the whiteness of the ice floe, and to contemplate infinity. Two complementary books that compose a brilliant tableau of vast solitudes, sublimated by poetic thoughts chosen by Matthieu Ricard.
