Taking pictures of people walking by the streets. Through this, the first style that I established was isolating people out of images of light and darkness. When you wash away scenery that constantly coils around every person, what is left there seems like an illusion, or a memory of closing eyes. As you see these images, you may feel that living is people quietly flaming in the flow of time. when I was a little girl holding my mother’s hand. And I imagine a day when I was a young boy wearing a hat with a starry pattern. While I was reaching for the memory of those days when I was an old man, my body suddenly became a hat. I started yearning to be a shoe hugging the ground. After becoming the shoe, I passed through the smile of a girl, and, finally arriving at some person`s shredded back, I remember. I used to be a sibling, a friend, a lover, someone else, a boy, a girl, I used to be happy and angry. all these people are drifting. On the surface of the silent jet black film, my body drifts inside them; and their bodies keep drifting too, inside me. One day, you will have a dream of meeting me, and I a dream of meeting you. Like an illusion, you may be able to hear the images collected in the darkness of my camera obscura, The photographs were taken during 2009~2011, in Tokyo.
