“What I’ve learned through my daily work has become a vital driving force behind my creative process.”

In my work, I often find myself depicting the coming seasons. In the studio, in particular, time seems to advance more rapidly than in the real world.


After the earthquake, the sensation of constantly looking ahead to the future – to what lay beyond – came to a halt, at least for a period. Though spring arrived and summer was approaching, I felt as though the flow of all time had stopped, and I myself had frozen.


Yet, even in such circumstances, it is certain that people and diverse forms of life continue to live each day, albeit with anxiety, possessing a strong, resilient power to await the next season.


"2011 - stilllife" is a collection of works in which I explore "this year" through my daily photographic practice.




Photography often seeks to illustrate seasons yet to come. In the studio, especially, time unfolds itself more quickly than it does in the real world outside.

But on March 11, that sensation of always rushing ahead of the times - imagining the future – were simply numbed, at least for while. Spring came and summer was just around the corner, but I found myself frozen in time, which had ceased to follow its course.

Nevertheless, people and life in its diverse forms went on living each day in anxiety, and yet firmly, preparing themselves for the season to come, powerfully and lithely.

In “2011-stilllife,” I explore “2011” through the lens of my camera in my day-to-day work.
