Over the past few years, I've developed a deep connection to wetlands. They're the most beautiful landscapes I've ever seen, and I love everything about them. I love the smell of the damp earth, the way it changes with the light and the feeling of being surrounded by magic. Every time I visit a wetland, I feel like I can breathe again. It's a place where I can relax and feel at peace with myself and the world around me. I always want to return to wetlands again and again. I hope this series will create a sense of connection and belonging to the incredible planet we live on in viewers.
