Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
It's the majesty and beauty of water at its most pure that stays with us longest.
– Kenneth Turan,

fresh:
It relies heavily on visuals and offers minimal context. The project has a pro-environment feeling, which comes across implicitly, not through browbeating or preaching.
– Walter V. Addiego,

fresh:
As in Manufactured Landscapes, the long shots of natural and man-made environments have a patterned, abstract beauty that often chafes against the ugly truth on the ground.

They've found a way of serving up these images without seeming callous or exploitative or preachy.
