Over the last 7 years, having spent many weeks on Hokkaido in the depths of winter, Elizabeth Sanjuan's Silent Snow reveals the symbolism and symmetry of this quiet landscape. As a seeker of mystery and lover of solitude, the quietude of this land, with its watery blues and gentle, enveloping grays, Sanjuan immediately felt an intimate connection with the muted snowscape . Silent Snow urges one to pause, to explore, as Elizabeth does, the lessons of the single tree; strength in solitude and the will to withstand any storm.
