︎ Days come and go

視点が変われば戻ることのない世界
過去を忘れてしまうことを許そう、だから撮っているのだ
行きて帰る生活すべてに愛と感謝を込めて

Changing myself changes my world
The days come and go yet I forget those passing joys
With love I reminisce on bygone days
Forgiving myself for forgetting so many;
That’s why I shoot

I was born and raised in Japan, where earthquakes and other natural disasters are an inescapable aspect of everyday life.

This nationwide anxiety was reaffirmed on 3/11/2011. A huge earthquake struck when I was just 17 years old attending high school.

Until I moved to Europe, I always carried this subtle fear of big disasters which can destroy a usual day in seconds.

I couldn’t let it go. With my camera, I used to say to the world, ‘thank you, goodbye, I hope to see you again’.
