The story behind this print, in the words of photographer Daisuke Kurashima: “Iwo Jima is a volcanic island with hot springs. When the water from the hot springs flows into the sea, the shallower the water is, the more red or orange it turns,” explains Kurashima. “The visible colours in the water vary depending on the concentration of the hot spring's components, and the appearance is compared to an aurora borealis. The diver swimming in front of me had a very good posture, which made for a good silhouette.”
