Breathing Life is an exploration of human and non-human form through the unifying power of breath.

The images were created using an in-camera double exposure technique blending the human body in various yoga positions with the organic structures of plant life. The images were shot in Washington D.C.’s Meridian Hill / Malcolm X Park with local yoga instructors Hawah Kasat and Helena Snyder.

The project was created in partnership with Washington Parks & People, One Common Unity and Interdependent Pictures, Washington D.C. based organizations with a unified mission to breathe life into urban green spaces and connect urban communities to the earth.
