At the end of it’s life, a flower takes many appearances. Falling, deflating, dancing, spilling …The lighted flowers, embossed in shadow.Sometimes, as they approach the boundary of life and death, flowers have a grotesque beauty.Such beauty, only witnessed at the end of the flower’s life, is due to the nobility that exists as, courageously holding onto life, its form collapses closer to death, when, in a final expression of dignity, it succumbs to the ultimate dying moment.
Based in Tokyo, Japan. Completed Rochester Institute of Technology Fine Art Photography in the United States. With the theme of capturing beautiful moments in daily life, she continues to take photographs as a means of freeing herself from her own thoughts. She is interested in the relative emotional swings and atmospheric distortions that are created by the combination of photographs, and explores their effect on the viewer. In addition to expressing her introspective view of the world through a variety of subjects, she also combines "photography and words" in her creative work.
