Swim Art: Yuko Shimizu

Sometimes, after a swim, I take a few moments and float on my back. I’m able to stretch my whole body out, like you might do in bed, with arms overhead and toes pointed out, all while being totally weightless. Then, you can dip your bum down a bit and just float around with your legs gently moving around arms arms swaying in every direction; it is a totally relaxing experience.

The artist of this piece, Yuko Shimizu, is incredibly accomplished. She has worked for Apple, Nike, Visa, NPR, Target, Time, and others. She won numerous awards and her work has been included in both bespoke books and collections by Taschen. She lectures and teaches…wow. I want to be like her!
