Miki Iwamura
Surf (Series)
DESCRIPTION
North Shore, O'ahu Hawaii.
Nature is powerful, beautiful and horrifying at the same time. Amongst the sea of surfers some ride skillfully, others tumble, and more wait to catch that perfect wave. It is symbolic of life itself; the struggles and challenges we face with survival and human conditions. Watching distant surfers from ashore, the view represented a sea of humanity.
