Story
When I look at the photos I've taken, I sometimes feel like I'm suffering from memory loss. The images of the past in the frame change over time, and with many contradictions they are stored as memories of time, even though nothing is really lost.
On the other hand, the renewal of reality is in the exact opposite position to the loss of memory. If the rapid renewal of the world overtakes the accumulation of memory, it may be that the image that is no longer able to accumulate the memory of time will also lose its own individuality.
I have been photographing everyday life and people because I want to keep the memories of the world in something that may be lost suddenly. In the process of shooting and editing, I arrived at an image that was born out of a gradation of multiple images taken from different perspectives of one memory, and another that was an intersection of spaces.

Then the whole phenomenon, not just the subject, is fragmented and reconstructed.
These reconstructed images may be far removed from our perceptions, but I feel that there are complexities and contradictions lurking in them that arise from photography.
