Chapter ６ノ２：存在認知／ストローク2013年 - 現在
フォトグラファー復帰後に心理学のスキルを落とし込みながら構築された現在のコンセプトである「存在認知／ストローク」。
それは、「Existence and Message」や「Edge of Life」を経てたどり着いた、人の存在そのものを描写することに特化したポートレートです。
末期癌の方々や、余命を自分らしく生きている方々、また人生の分岐点にある方々などを被写体にしたそのポートレートは、被写体となる人も、写真を見る大切な誰かも、自分自身の深い部分と繋がることができるポートレートであり、時にはグリーフケアのお手伝いにもなり得るものです。
「あなたの欲しい答えは、その一枚のなかに在る。」
Chapter 6-2 : Existence Recognition / Stroke
2013 – Present
After returning to photography, I gradually integrated my studies of psychology into my work, leading to the concept that now defines my portraiture:
Existence Recognition / Stroke.
This approach emerged through projects such as Existence and Message and Edge of Life, and eventually evolved into a form of portraiture dedicated to portraying a person’s existence itself.
Many of the people I have photographed have been living with terminal illness, facing the final stages of life, or standing at significant crossroads in their journeys.
These portraits are not only for the people within the frame.
They are also for the people who love them.
At their best, they create a space where both the subject and the viewer can reconnect with something deep within themselves.
At times, they may even become part of the process of grief care.
Over the years, I have come to believe that a portrait is more than an image.
It is an act of recognizing that someone exists.
The answer you seek lies within that one frame.
I know that you are here.
