The 'Rights of Nature' movement, which legally guarantees nature's right to exist, thrive, and regenerate, is spreading globally. A prime example is New Zealand's Whanganui River, which was granted legal personhood equal to that of a human. By exploring the Whanganui River and Mount Taranaki in New Zealand, we examine what lessons can be drawn for the current initiative to institutionalize 'eco-legal personhood' for the Jeju Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphin—the first of its kind in South Korea. Ultimately, this leads us to reflect deeply on how we should connect and forge relationships with nature.

Yet the artist deliberately diverges from these original images, turning away from the sharply defined details and edges of these celebrated sites. Instead, the camera retreats into marginalized zones at the limits of visibility, areas suffused with blinding halos of light.
