私はカメラマンの仕事をしているので、友人から結婚式の撮影を頼まれて、何組か撮ったことがありました。それから年月が過ぎて、その内の何組から、私たちは別々の道を歩みますというお知らせが届いたことがありました。その頃、私のプライベートでも別れがあり、そういう事が重なった時期、洗い物をしていたら、長年使っていた茶碗が二つに割れて、その欠片が綺麗に思えて捨ずに残してありました。
長年の過程や関係があり、それが最終的には割れてしまっても、それぞれにうまく行かなかった事柄から花が咲いているイメージが思いつき、この作品を撮りました。
I work as a photographer, and have been asked by friends to photograph their weddings, so I have taken pictures of several couples. Years passed, and some of those couples informed me that they were going their separate ways. Around that time, I was also going through a breakup in my personal life, and during a time when all of this was happening at the same time, I was doing the dishes when a teacup I had been using for years broke into two pieces. The pieces looked beautiful to me, so I kept them instead of throwing them away.
There are many years of processes and relationships, and even if they eventually break, I came up with the image of flowers blooming from the things that didn't go well for each of them, and so I took this work.
