Ghost Coast

Upon arrival in Japan I quickly noticed the local relationship with the ocean was so in contrast with what was familiar to me. Fear and respect made the Shizuoka coast a neglected yet extraordinary area that I set out to explore and to understand how the locals experience something that can be both an enemy and a best friend. In contrast, the coast of Portugal comes at a premium and its always where you want to be. Project Still Underway

“The waves are high even without wind.
It is a sandy beach as far as you can see from the left to the right. Nothing else.
No people in sight. It’s like a sci-fi movie.”
