Japanese traditions have always been a source of inspiration for artists of all kinds.
Their meaning often becomes the starting point for fascinating projects, characterized by an ethereal and delicate beauty.

The concept of ama, 海女, which literally means sea maiden, is just the latest example of how a tradition that has been living for 2000 years can push young artists to reinterpret its meaning.
Ama, in fact, is precisely the name of an exciting video in which the French sea diver and filmmaker Julie Gautier, plays and dances as if she were an “ama”, one of those Japanese women who just search for pearls in the sea.

A short naked video, which begins with a heavy rain and ends with an elegant and suffering dance inside a deep swimming pool.
