About the book
Christina McFaul explores the natural world through the youthful eyes of her two boys, discovering the magic and mysteries of the wild.
Together, they discover the wonder and awe of the natural world, where the boundaries between child and nature quietly dissolve. Their encounters become a gentle reminder that the wild is not something "out there" it lives within us, waiting to be remembered.
Through photographs and poetic reflections, Sanctuary in the Wild invites us to slow down, awaken our senses, and remember that we are not separate from nature. We are a part of the tapestry that is life.
" I grew up on a lake nestled in the Santa Monica Mountains of California, a place that became my sanctuary.
This profound connection with the wild instilled a deep respect for our environment and a desire to protect it. My photography is an extension of this passion, capturing the raw essence of nature and highlighting the urgent need for conservation. Through my lens, I want to inspire others to see our natural world's beauty and understand our critical role in preserving it.”
—Christina McFaul
Review of Christina’s Project:
The series has the extremely essential ability to speak to the hearts of different audiences around the world.
The stories that move us most are often rooted in something deeply familiar, but presented through a fresh and original approach. That is exactly what I see in your work, Christina. There is ingenuity in the way the story is told, while the theme feels intimate and timeless, almost like an alternative version of the Garden of Eden.
The work also speaks to the importance of nature and our wellbeing, cultivating a desire to reconnect with it. Through the journey of two young boys, play and exploration invite us to follow, while the monochrome imagery sparks curiosity and imagination.
