[Theme]
My works are representation of sense of life and its eternity. An existence of sense of life has a strong connection with people who also hold life. Its eternity is a breath of hope that would become a vitality for tomorrow.

[Objects]
My photographic objects are nature and artifacts that passed through the time. I feel the sense of life and its eternity in nature that breeds life through reincarnation. Artifacts are two poles apart from nature but through the sharing and passing of time with people, I also find sense of life and its eternity in them like a pulse.



[テーマ]
私は作品を通して、生命感と、その永遠性を表現します。生命感の存在は、同じ生命体である人間との強い繋がりを感じることができ、そしてその永遠性は心を安定させ、希望を予感させるものであり、明日へ向かう活力の源となります。

[被写体]
私の被写体は、自然と時を経た人工物です。自然には輪廻を繰り返して生命を育む生命感と永遠性、一方、自然とは対極である人工物には、人と関わりながら時を経ることにより宿る、生命感と永遠性を、波動として感じることができます。




Series: The Silent Pulse

 My mind gets healed when I am away from the city and place myself in nature. I think I feel that way because mountain climbing in my youth felt both refreshing and attractive. But as I got older, I started to believe that it comes from sympathy with providence of nature. At times, the trees and the animals in the forest shine, shelter from threat, and pass their lives to the descendants. The way of life of the trees and the animals in the forest had been repeated unremittingly and will continue without change henceforth. Also, at a river running through the forest, a drip from a leaf forms a current that shaves the rock to make the gorge and the waterfall, flows down the flat land, and pours into the sea. At the sea, an endless waves rush from the faraway horizon toward the coast. The river current and the sea waves shave the ground gradually to the shape of today in daunting length of time. The providence of nature world had been repeated unremittingly and will continue without change henceforth. From the nature, I strongly feel the eternal pulse of the universe that connects today, linked from the past, and with the future.

Old pond….
a frog leaps in
water’s sound
