Overhead view of three escalators descending to the suburban line platform at Madrid's Atocha Station. I aimed for people to arrive at almost the same time and at almost the same place, so that the shots would remind us that the stories of their respective days are physically adjacent to each other, but do not intersect.

Born in Japan, Asako is a Madrid-based photographer specializing in street photography. Her work has gained international recognition, winning the Grand Prix for two consecutive years at both the Paris International Street Photo Awards and the B&W International Awards, as well as 1st Place at the Fine Art Photography Awards. In 2025, she was named Best Photographer of the Year in the Street Photography category at 35AWARDS and served as an international juror representing Spain.

Her first monograph, All the Fading Words, will be published in 2025.
