Hagakure-4

I am an artist who uses photographs to create visual works with a wide range of techniques to express the simple beauty in everyday subject matter like nature and architecture. My aim is to reinterpret common elements of life in ways to let the viewer see them in a whole new way.

I am drawn to the natural world, whether it be nature itself or the natural materials used to frame our environment. I am especially attracted to small details, which are foundation of wholeness. Trees, leaves and flowers are made up of details most never see. Also, while great architecture makes grand statements, it is the sum of many carefully crafted parts that often go unnoticed. I am drawn to those elements,and through the photographic process, bring them to the surface so that they can be seen in a new light.

Light and shadow are also common elements in my work. I use natural light, which influences our perception of space and how we interact with it.  I use light to give materials a new presence and to help them tell a new story of their own.

Some of my projects currently in progress include Silence and Light, Echo of Trees, and Mirror of Hana. Silence and Light explores the interplay between space, structure, materials, and light to craft an abstract and spiritual image. Echo of Trees envisions trees reaching skyward like heavenly nymphs, aiming to interpret the natural landscape as an expression of infinite existence. Mirror of Hana delves into the dual meaning of Hana in Japanese, which signifies both flowers and the virtue of human beings, creating a reflective and profound experience.
