Tiny Flowers
When I contemplated the unreasonable tragedy that these lives and laughter have been suddenly stolen away, I felt the urge to accompany my drawing with a flower that blooms in reality. I created a single piece of artwork by pairing my drawing, which I captured through photography, with my photos of small flowers. It was because I wanted to mourn those who would have perished there and keep them in memory. Just as the tiny flowers blooming by the roadside manage to blossom again even when they are trampled upon, I hoped that people could hold onto even a little bit of hope.
Bio I am a professional photographer with nearly 40 years of experience in commercial and art photography. In the wake of the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, I began to explore my own subconscious and tried to visualize it. This process allowed me to heal and move forward. I want to focus on and express the inner darkness and challenges that everyone faces. Today, I am not only a photographer, but also an artist, actively engaged in drawing and silk-screening.
