ARTIST STATEMENT
HAKKO × Rebirth
All that reaches the eye are shadows of the sun,
If we accept that life does not give forth light of its own.
We invest our emotions in a light
That gradually vanishes as it wanders through darkness.
Entries form: Book (254 x 305 mm) with 48 prints on inkjet paper (thick Baryta paper)
Selecting judge: Rika Noguchi
These are simple, yet powerful, works. I kept looking back at the files trying to find the secret to their strength. I sense the artist fashioned the works in his own language. It left me wondering what he will create next. I definitely want to watch where this artist will go next.
