Fishermen set up small octopus spawning grounds in the tidal flats where the seawater comes in and out twice a day. This is a ‘House of Hope’ that helps mother octopuses and their young survive safely. However, to the eyes of strangers looking at the sea from afar, they are a very exotic and peaceful scenery. I expressed the mysterious and minimalistic beauty of the artificial structure that seems to float on the sea with a long exposure.

I'm an amateur photographer. I enjoy landscape and minimalist photography. I especially like to shoot seascapes using long exposures.
