To affirm what exists without reason.
That is my way of being as a photographer.
理由なく在るものを、肯定する。
それが私の写真家としての在り方である。
Artist Statement
Photography here favors contact over result.
The body’s hesitation toward light leaves a faint residue on the surface.
Not decision, but suspended time.
写真は結果ではなく、接触の記録。
光に向かう身体の“遅さ”と“ためらい”が、表面にわずかな痕跡を残す。
決定ではなく、保留された時間の側に立つ。
Works
-
Residual Vision
2022-2025
Traces of light and afterimages of seeing—pausing before meaning and gathering only the faint edges of things.
-
Without Why
2013-
Photographing as a practice of being-with—where a monochrome past folds into the family present, and quiet affirmation takes shape.
-
It is there
2009-2013
Five years with the staff at Kitahotaka Mountain Hut—where the sublime and the routine quietly meet.
