the story we share
From early cultures and first attempts to understand and assimilate with the ocean, to more developed systems of perception and understanding. From the spiritual connection and balanced existence to the exploration and technology age.
ANCIENT
RIVALRY
To our ancestors, the ocean was a vast, unknown space, but also a gateway in the search for new land, and new opportunity.When we finally conquered the ocean, we also depleted it of most of its natural treasures that once seemed unlimited.
