Statement

Nowhere to die

After shooting those, I feel now that I have captured or wanted to capture the living perception only while heading to the destination. At such time, I often shoot with a smartphone instead of a camera. Not only in the sense of a work, but also in the certain scenery that was in my life, it seems that everything is mixed up. This smartphone, a simple and somewhere unreliable device, may often scoop up such things.

The relationship with the smartphone unveils through these transient selfies taken on the way to the final destination; it echoes us, always evolving.
