the most tame deers in the world ,deers in Nara. I encountered the deer standing right next to the tree. His antlers were chopped off. Our eyes met for a while. This was the moment I captured.

She is a photographer living in Japan.In her most significant work, she uses blueprint to express the beauty of the Earth. She makes a negative from the photo and prints it on a blueprint under sunlight. After the blueprint dried, it is decorated with plants and painted.
Before the plants wilt, they are quickly scanned and finished as a photograph.
The blue hue in the blueprint represents the sky - the Earth.
