Award-winning Brazilian photographer, Luciano Candisani, embarks on a new journey, focusing on a group of women who make their living from the sea. He crosses the world to portray the story of the daily work of these heroines and bring awareness to a vital necessity of modern times: sustainability. Candisani leaves to an island in South Korea called Jeju, where he meets the Haenyeo, the women from the sea. These brave women follow a century tradition: they dive into the sea in order to harvest marine goods. This is how they make money to raise their children and support their families, without causing any damage to the environment. Candisani dives with them and faces this arduous physical task, once the Haenyeo, despite their advanced ages, spend up to five hours in the sea.
