Rebuilding Tokyo Photograph - Limited Edition of 20

I am an artist specializing in black-and-white street photography, capturing the subtle interplay between identity, power, and the unseen forces shaping urban life. My journey in photography began in exile in 2022, rooted in a background in history, political science, and international relations. This academic foundation informs my approach—my camera is not merely an instrument of observation but a means of deconstructing reality. Through a critical lens, I explore the social and political landscapes that define contemporary existence. Rather than amplifying or romanticizing my subjects, I strive for an unembellished authenticity—allowing moments to unfold as they are, revealing hidden structures of meaning beneath the surface. My perspective, shaped by political philosophy and social critique, leads me beyond the obvious, capturing the tensions and nuances that often go unnoticed.
