ARTIST STATEMENT

I have always been inspired by Basho Matsuo’s poetry. His most renowned work, The Narrow Road to the Interior, evokes the fragility and the beauty of the four seasons, combined with an empathy for the places where he wandered. His remarkable words suggest the truth and the significance of the reality, and do not merely describe the facts. He engages in deep personal reflection, both in himself and his subjects. His words are like a stone thrown into a pond. The ripples spread across the water, as his words do in the reader’s mind.

I want my photography to aid the viewer’s mind in visualizing my subconscious. Here, in this work, a downpour violently hit the water; there weren’t ripples and nothing is reflected on the surface. But after I printed this image, I realized that this is my first image that perfectly reflected my subconscious mental state—disturbed, but calm.
