This book is observed through the window of a house in a typical urban neighbourhood, each picture showing a year's developments. Watch as the land is reclaimed from built-up concrete to a gradual greening, shown through the artist's characteristic collage illustrations.
This is an impressive conservationist work with a hopeful message.
