Artist Statement:

I am originally from Japan but am currently studying an MA in Photography at Falmouth College Of Arts in Cornwall. I am interested in visual narrative. I believe photography is about creating a story, by choosing what, where and how we take the photo. All my photographs are an expression of how I perceive the world. It is the certain moments, colours, light and shadows that attract me and which I feel I can record through the lens of the camera. When I capture a single moment in front of me, I try to picture myself in the frame creating a world within it.

At the moment I am working on a project which focuses on the divide between public and the private with the main emphasis being on windows. I am interested in the relationship between observing and being observed. I think of the window as a boundary between the out side world and inner space, which is also similar to the boundaries of society.

In the future I hope to work with landscape and art photography, but am also interested in collaborating with other artists who work with narrative, such as poets, writers and graphic designers.
