The suffering to come. Images to overflow
Evils of daily life. Insatiable quest
A towerig chill
The Russian Far East, devoid of dancing
Dance of solicitation
Consciousness to the brain
Elimination of plans
Discovery of conviction
Madam with no drool in the mouth
Island where things do not go as desired.
Relief of challenge. Unexpected jubilation
Renounce the world I’ve seen before, witness the dance of creation in the world of genesis.
These photographs are the visual experiment, which suggest bewilderment, labyrinth, imagination, and quest.

There was nothing,
No sound, no odor, and nothing to see due
to the blanket of thick mist.
Nearly all we could feel upon arriving on the ashen desert was heat.
Then, the black land and white sky slowly came into view, but nothing more.
On that ground we recorded a dance of creation to produce new life forms blending white and black.
Mt. Mihara’s tremendous eruption 30 years prior reset everything to a great mass of ash.
The name Mihara comes from a word that refers to the uterus.
Since the nothingness is so beautiful,
I thought that whatever may be born from there would be quite sacred.
