How can I capture " Time" which is invisible?
How can I convey invisible pulse inside and outside of my body?

The Sun is symbol of time, hope, future, the joy of lives and a
source of all lives and always a common universal language for
lives on the earth.
The Sunshine travels times from The Sun to the earth and travels
from past to future.

To convey ' Time ' and "invisible pulse " , I decide to capture
The sun and sunshine on films by using plants and natures which
creates their own lives like human as a media.
To convey weaving feelings , for ex. between hope and
desperate anxiety、fear and peace of mind . sorrow and
happiness and so on. )
and also to convey invisible pulse outside of my body ( like
sound, light, fragrance, heat , stress which feels by 5 sense),
Color which is a part of light and is very important factor in this
project.
Since plants and nature which create their own colors by
themselves , I decide to use them as a media to capture The Sun
and sunshine.

Nowadays, we feel so much negative pulse outside of worlds .
Those pulse sometimes comes from our memories in the past.
In this project, I capture The Sun and sunshine on film by
recognition of "now " myself .
By looking by those images of sunshine recalls me memories of
past and capturing now on films make me move on to pray and
fight a little bit for the better futures.
