Japan is my favorite place in the entire world. When i grow up, it's where I want to live. But Japan is full of dualities that simultaneously repulse and endear me. There is the loneliness only a total lack of isolation can bring (surely you have felt your loneliest in a crowd of people?), westernization and it counterbalance of maniacal nationalism, and repression combined with a suffocating need to be unique. Such complexity makes Japan the perfect subject of countless portraits in my work.
