ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Torii gate, Meiji Jingu, Tokyo, Japan. Meiji Jingu is a Shinto shrine. Shinto is called Japan's ancient original religion, and it is deeply rooted in the way of Japanese life. Shinto has no founder, no holy book, and not even the concept of religious conversion, but Shinto values for example harmony with nature and virtues such as "Magokoro (sincere heart)". In Shinto, some divinity is found as Kami (divine spirit), or it may be said that there is an unlimited number of Kami. You can see Kami in mythology, in nature, and in human beings. From ancient times, Japanese people have felt awe and gratitude towards such Kami and dedicated shrines to many of them. This shrine is dedicated to the divine souls of Emperor Meiji and his consort Empress Shoken (their tombs are in Kyoto). Emperor Meiji passed away in 1912 and Empress Shoken in 1914. After their demise, people wished to commemorate their virtues and to venerate them forever. So they donated 100,000 trees from all over Japan and from overseas, and they worked voluntarily to create this forest. Thus, thanks to the sincere heart of the people, this shrine was established on November 1, 1920.

Rafal Krol
Ireland
Rafal was born in 1975 and grew up in Bielsko-Biala, Poland. In 2004 when Poland become a member of the European Union and the borders were open, he came to Ireland and has lived here since. Krol bought his first digital camera to record his stay abroad. He has been thinking of photography since he can remember but hadn’t had opportunity to take any single photo until then. After the initial fascination of having a camera and taking photographs of everything everywhere, he began to focus on minimalistic black and white seascape and landscape photography for the past few years. Nature, the sea coast and the mountains always have been inspiring to Krol. These are places which he enjoy visiting most, where he rests and restores his vital energy. Most of Rafal’s photographs are black and white, because he believes the lack of colour allows an observer to focus more on the frame and composition. Rafal prints in small formats. He likes when a person looking at the photo is close to it, to be able to see every single detail of the image from close proximity, and at the same time to be able to admire the whole frame.
