Simple & Minimal

I want to pursue what the freedom of expression is. In paintings, for example, you only paint what you want and you don’t give any descriptions of the object if it isn’t needed. I want to do it in my photography. I don’t want to block human’s free imagination because of the expression of the reality within the photographs. People would be stirred the interest freely from my artworks. This is my ideal for the photography. Ukiyo-e, traditional form of Japanese art, has given me many inspirations. Based on the Ukiyo-e style, I made the photographs tone flat and simplify the expression. I erased the images that I thought unnecessary, and added the outline of the object, which I wanted to emphasize. And I omitted the details, which I thought were unnecessary, as much as possible. I believe that being simple and minimal enriches people’s thoughts and imaginations, it leads to the liberation of the mind and give us a peaceful mind.
