This image was created from a sense of tenderness—toward two young forms just beginning their growth: a leaf and a flower bud. In their early shapes, I sensed a quiet promise that one day they would open to the world and shine.
Promise to Bloom reflects my belief in unseen potential. Though visually distinct, these forms are joined in time—each waiting to unfold in its own way.
This work is part of my ongoing exploration of how time nurtures becoming, and how love allows us to see what has not yet come to be.
I am an amateur photographer based in Japan, driven by a deep passion for capturing the world through my lens.
From breathtaking landscapes to striking architecture, dynamic street scenes, and everything that stirs my heart, photography has become an inseparable part of my life since I began my journey in 2015.
