Author's comment

Repetition and one-timeness, contradictory things coexist, and overlap with his own ambivalent backbone.
Focusing on the organic relationship between the characteristics of materials and motifs, he seeks new relationships.

Judge's review

There are many people who insist on photography (material) as chemistry/engineering and compete with digital pixel photography (information), but this is an attempt to materialize photography as an experience of light and the viewer. An eloquent visual experience that includes the use of materials such as wax. As we trace the depth of view, we trace the hierarchy of matter with mass, making us dream of the universe. (Kohata Kazue)
