They then pose for portraits to outline the bond they share. Haruhiko Kawaguchi, the artist, covers these people in lube. He then vacuum packs them in plastic bags – sucking out all the air.This is extremely dangerous and they could very well suffocate. Thus there is a paramedic team on standby as the couples hold their breaths. The artist has just a few moments to capture the shots.

According to Haruhiko, his photos show the power of love as they get couples as physically close as possible to each other.
