ABOUT
Ai Futaki
Aquatic Expressionist
Ambassador of the Sea for the Ministry of the Environment's "Mori-sato-river-umi Project
She has set two new Guinness World Records for bare diving. As a one-of-a-kind aquatic expressionist, both in Japan and abroad, she is active on the world stage as a bridge between the underwater and the land.
She dives with her own lungs and without using air cylinders, just like marine mammals, becoming a member of their group by blending in with them, expressing herself as they are, sometimes as a subject and sometimes as a photographer. This time, the world is seen through the eyes of Ai Futaki.
We are part of nature and we live with nature.
