Sassen contributes 80 new photographs that celebrate the natural world, and Coccia supplies an ambitious essay that reassesses the unity of all sentient life. Neither an illustration of text nor a commentary on a series of images, \u003ci\u003eModern Alchemy\u003c\/i\u003e situates their two streams of creativity in a dialogue, forging a reverent meditation on art and nature. Gorgeously bound in printed cloth, this meditative photobook invites readers to reenvision the earth's ever-present beauty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eViviane Sassen\u003c\/b\u003e (born 1972) is a Dutch photographer based in Amsterdam who works in both the fashion and fine art worlds.
