Artist Statement
They say Tokyo has no city planning. The part forms the whole in a chaotic way. Instead of applying an artificial plan to the land, the city was built in accordance with the shapes and the nature of the land itself. So the city was influenced by the characteristics of the land and each city has a specific atmosphere. I want to show this specific atmosphere in this series.
