Sakura

“Cherry blossoms are so beautiful

that I don’t think I’ve spent as much

time looking at anything else

Facing a sakura tree

my eyes shift

from one petal to another

from one flower to another

until the whole picture is grasped

In ‘SAKURA’

I attempt to visualize

the move of my observing eyes

and crystallize the visual experience

of meditating and wandering upon

the blooming tree

As a result

the images show that

photography captures not only

a specific moment

but also the passing of time”
