Business Overview
Held a solo exhibition "Absence and Ambience" at the Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation Japan House Gallery in London, England. Over the past few years, she has exhibited at exhibitions and art fairs in Europe, but this project was designed to present her work in more depth in the form of a solo exhibition. In this project, he developed his own activities to date, and under the two keywords of “Absence ” and“ Ambience, ” he shared with viewers the history, culture, and sensitivity toward nature of Japan and Europe, while touring each exhibition room composed of various formats, and created a place to reconsider modern views of nature. These two words are also keywords that allow me to see my activities relatively from a more international perspective, and my aim was to present my potential as an artist and my work philosophy in more depth to the European contemporary photography community and general audiences.
