Statement

who was there

My brother lost his hair due to the treatment of his illness. I wondered how he would have his photos taken by me, his big sister, with his new look. I just told him that I was going to shoot some photos, then he started digging through the drawers, putting my clothes on and my makeup.
My brother and I were born from the same human being. We are made of the same ingredients. However, there was someone I didn't know on the other side of the lens at that time. There was something untouchable between that person and me. Who was there? who is I'm still thinking about it.

Jury selection

もう一つのエントリー作品は自写像だったが、弟を撮ったこのシリーズが心に響いた。自分を撮らずに提出した作品の中で一番よかったが、セルフと言えるかどうかがまだわからない。
