A glass of water to quench your thirst is the motif of my work.
The photograph is an art lived in fateful snapshot at 1/500 seconds.
The object of my lens is an emotion such as warmheartedness, nostalgia, sweet taste, quiet simplicity and calmness. An emotion is born in not head but heart.
During our life in this brutal world, we have put a heavy lid on this precious emotion, so I try to force the heavy lid open to find the human tenderness and warmheartedness in the mind by the photograph. In order to open the lid, the motif has to be the beauty -- that which makes an impact on the heart.
The art kept in the memory of brain cell will be forgotten someday, but I believe that the photograph impressed directly in the mind through not the thinking circuit but the optic nerve will be engraved in the memory forever. Please open your mind and find something forgotten with my work.
