Japonism & Minimalism – Torii

ADVERTISEMENT

This work is a work that raises the issues of modern society and lets viewers imagine the future.

A photo that makes you think about what you really need in a modern, information-filled world.

Like the world in this photo, what do you choose if there is only one?

The difference in the size of TORII symbolize dilution of community (depopulation of local cities) at the time. .

Depopulation in regional cities” and “population concentration in urban areas” are the common problems shared among developed countries.

I used TORII to represent depopulation in Japan’s regional cities as an example, but please try replacing it with your family or community.

The last one shows the future you imagine.

please imagine.

How does the future look to you?

The paper used for printing uses Japanese paper “WASHI” made by Iwano Ichibei designated as a national treasure.
