SEVEN” is a photographic book that reinterprets the Seven Deadly Sins through dual expressions: symbolic portraits and solitary cityscapes. Each sin—Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, and Pride—is represented through a pairing of studio portraits and urban fragments shot across Tokyo and beyond.

The portraits are theatrically styled, evoking archetypes with modern emotions, while the street photos mirror the quiet aftermath of unseen sins. Together, they form a visual narrative of human fragility and moral ambiguity in contemporary life.
