So much things happened in this year, 2024. Half of this year was that I spent so much time to prepare my solo exhibition in Kyoto. Then I had incredibly great time at there. Also. I’ve never felt how precious to having friends in my life. And followers on Instagram, people came into the gallery to see my artwork, I will never forget this such precious moment in my life. And after the exhibition,
tragedy happened, I won’t write details, but of course, some people already know about it.but anyway, this crazy experience pushed me to next level of my artwork.
in the same time, after the exhibiton, i felt that i’ve done what i wanted to try, and suddenly i was so scraed and so anxious about shooting. i don’t know what i want to do. what do i shoot? what for? omg i can’t find!
it is funny and little ironic, but that tragedy made me want to go further, deeper than before to shooting. i knew that i wanted to shoot as art photo but after that tragedy happened, i could find my self and i was holding brake to stay where i was. then i decided to just let go.
and one thought came up in my mind.
i will reflect my emotions, thoughts fo what i experiecned to photos i shot. first, i thought this is so crazy but this is the only thing i can do. so i grab my gear then just go.
and i remeber, my mind kept saying “but how?”
my answer was just so simple, just do it.
it was very painful. i felt that i was like open wound. but somewhere in my mind, i felt that i have to go through this. if you want to get healed, you need to touch your wound, you know. though the process was extremely hard and pain but i could get done what i want to shoot.
also, at home i focused on my emotion, my thoughts about love, relationship, where i was, what’s going on when in relationship with someone. and these kind of process made a concept of my next artwork.
it’s called “Ghost”
it is series of some photos. it’s same style of “fragment”
and i am going to show these photos in june, 2025 in kyoto. but not solo exhibition. it’s at public exhibition.
