ART

Art allows me to express what words sometimes cannot. Through photography, artist’s books, and interactive exhibitions, I explore themes of identity, labor, and everyday life. My recent works on Japan’s cuisine culture and migrant workers’ meals aim to reveal how food reflects belonging, resilience, and the invisible ties between people and place.

PHOTOGRAPHY

Wandering through Yokohama’s harbor, I was drawn to the quiet rhythm where ocean light meets concrete lines. My lens traced the old facades of Chinatown, their crimson lanterns whispering stories of migration and belonging, while the glass towers of Minato Mirai shimmered like symbols of Japan’s ceaseless transformation.

ARTIST'S BOOK​

Eating on the Clock documents the everyday meals of construction workers across Japan—ordinary moments that quietly reveal extraordinary stories. Through photographs of bentos and shared dishes, the book traces not only flavors but also fragments of identity, migration, and memory carried within each meal.

FLAVOR EXCHANGE
Archive

Flavor Exchange Archive is an interactive exhibition that invites people from diverse backgrounds to share the stories behind their food. At its heart lies a collection of cuisine cards—each one a fragment of memory, migration, and identity, gathered from kitchens around the world.
