In the backdrop of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, I captured the essence of a serene yet vibrant spring scene at Showa Kinen Park. Despite the prevailing circumstances, the park radiated a unique energy that reminded me of the resilience of nature. It was a testament to the enduring spirit of spring, symbolizing hope and renewal even in the face of adversity. Through my lens, I aimed to capture not just the physical beauty of the park but also the underlying message of resilience and the quiet strength that nature exudes during these challenging times.
