Through the Tunnel

Artwork Description

This work uses etching to capture underwater landscapes. Inspired by my own experience of overcoming fear through freediving, this book tells the story of returning a year later to the narrow underwater tunnel that I had been unable to pass during my training, and finally making it to the other side. I believe everyone faces a “tunnel” of their own in life. This is a story about finding the courage to move forward despite fear.

Cutting through the water

Go in. Toward the underwater tunnel.

Beautiful underwater scenery

My whole body froze whenever I stood in front of the tunnel.

The inside of the tunnel isn't as dark as I thought. Let's go forward.
