Produced on occasion of my nephew’s first birthday, For Sei (2020) is a work that celebrates a life. The two Earth photographs here were made by a geostationary satellite, Himawari-8, just around the time my nephew was born. Although the two images look almost identical, for me and for my family, the first is the world without Sei and the second is the world now with Sei. I came to like the later world more. From a distance, this maybe a very small experience of an individual, but the world is being formed by all these personal experiences unique to the individuals. This is a portrait of our human existence.

Greetings from New York City, (2020) Postcard and ink, text on the reverse side. It is a postcard I bought on a gift store that depicts the manhattan landscape and the central park. When New York City was the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic between March-April 2020, the city existed, but the cityscape became non-existent to its residence. On the reverse side, there’s a number of COVID-19 cases in the city and death from it. Sent to Japan for an exhibition in Niigata.
