ARTIST STATEMENT
UNCLEAR
I love the transience of the four seasons, such as the beauty of nature, and have taken many photographs in that direction. However, in this field, rather than a young and unworthy person like me, elderly amateurs are better at taking wonderful photographs. I felt that perhaps I should be taking more vibrant, younger photos. With that in mind, this was created. With this award, I feel that a new path of images has been opened.

I sense a clear vision in his choice of subjects. With the high-level technique of solarization, it’s transformed into an abstract, becoming ideological. However, when you start to use abstraction, the issue of how far to go and when to stop probably arise.
