Nori (seaweed) nets are found in the sheltered bays of coastal Japan. The green seaweed shines on a monochromatic cloudy day.

Ulana Switucha has photographed throughout Asia for over 30 years and currently resides in Hong Kong.

Influenced by a Japanese aesthetic, there is an evolving minimalist style and contemplative peacefulness in her recent work.
