Profile

I was born and raised in a small town near the sea on the Sea of Japan.
There, the transition from evening to night is dramatic, and the colors and the black expanse of the sea at night influence my sense of beauty.

My work is photographic.
Some are pictorial compositions, and others are edited photographs of a certain person throughout the four seasons.

I find beauty in the cruelty of the seasons that pass as if nothing happened to us, and in the generosity of their indifference to our events.
