Walking in the Cities
Urban absence. Suspension
2020 – ongoing
This series emerged from solitary walks through urban environments, initially during the period of social restriction and quietened cities. Moving through spaces emptied of their usual rhythm, I encountered a condition of suspension where architecture, light, and human presence coexisted in fragile balance.
Although the context of its origin has shifted, the search continues. Moments of stillness can still be found within contemporary urban life through attentive observation. The work reflects on the subtle intervals that persist beneath movement and daily activity.
Machihazure
Margins. Transition. Resilience.
2022 - ongoing
Begun in Ebina, on the margins of Tokyo, this series explores peripheral urban districts shaped by domestic routines, modest economies, and aging communities. During subsequent journeys, the research expanded into neighborhoods across Tokyo and Yokohama, where similar spatial and social dynamics unfold.
These environments appear quieter and more accessible than central urban areas, yet they subtly reveal isolation, transition, and gradual transformation. Architecture becomes a marker of lived experience, while atmosphere reflects the fragile condition of communities at the edge of metropolitan expansion.
Unexpected Landscape
Light. Familiarity. Transformation.
2021 – ongoing
This project investigates landscape not as a classical or panoramic subject, but as a familiar environment temporarily transformed by light and perception. The work focuses on places already known, where subtle shifts in illumination or framing reveal new spatial relationships.
Through reduction and attentive observation, ordinary surroundings are reinterpreted as fields of form, surface, and tonal tension. The landscape emerges not as scenery, but as a momentary perception altered by conditions and awareness.
Extended Research
Parallel explorations.
Experience
Digital perception. Reality.
2022-2025
This series reflects on perception at the intersection of digital immersion and direct observation. Inspired by immersive environments such as TeamLab in Tokyo, where light and projection construct artificial spatial conditions, the work examines how technology shapes and intensifies visual experience.
Similar sensations emerge in natural settings — in the movement of water, the modulation of light, and the quiet observation of living environments. What appears digitally generated often finds its counterpart in attentive looking at the physical world.
Experience investigates this threshold, where constructed and natural phenomena converge into a renewed awareness of seeing.
Blu in Italy
Anonymous intervention. Distance.
2014-2019
This project documents anonymous murals created by the street artist Blu across different locations in Italy. Executed primarily in black and white and integrated into urban surfaces, these works address social and political themes while remaining detached from authorship and institutional visibility.
Photographed with large format cameras and translated again into monochrome, the images reposition the murals within a distinct material and temporal dimension. The process does not simply archive the works, but reframes their presence within the urban landscape and their dialogue with society.
Abstraction #1
Form. Reduction. Everyday matter.
2021-ongoing
Abstraction #1 explores forms of abstraction that already exist within everyday reality. Rather than constructing abstract compositions artificially, the project seeks elements — surfaces, objects, fragments — that reveal their potential for detachment from context.
Through precise framing and tonal reduction, the subject is isolated and transformed into a study of structure, light, and form. The resulting images oscillate between recognition and abstraction, emphasizing perception as a process of reinterpretation.
