My thematic work "Reverb+Graphy" is an attempt to visualize images of current scene and past memories that play like reverberations in the brain. To embody this concept, I use prismatic lens filters that produce an amplifying effect.　This work is a spin-off of "Reverb+Graphy”.I took as my inspiration the image of "Galactic Railroad", which I became familiar with as a child through Japanese children's literature and animated films in my home country of Japan. I tried to create a poetic and nostalgic atmosphere by using expressions that evoke reverberations and afterimages.

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.
