IMAGES from JAPAN

31 images Created 15 Jun 2010

I first visited Japan in 2002 and moved to in 2004. It was as if I had come to the edge of the world, as if I had nowhere to go further. A totally different culture which gave me plenty of inspiration for new projects. Initially, I was a complete stranger. Japan had no expectations from me so I had the freedom to be who I felt I was, and to express different aspects of myself, yet to discover hidden stories within this idiosyncratic culture. The result is naturally projected within the above series of photographs.
