「Magic Realism(マジックリアリズム)」
この作品は、フォトグラファーが敬愛する文学作品のジャンル マジックリアリズムからインスピレーションを得て撮影したもの。

あえて語り合わずに各々の解釈を落とし込み、現実と虚構の狭間を行き交いながら、不思議とノスタルジー漂う世界を描いた作品。


This work draws inspiration from magic realism, which is a genre of literary works that the photographer adores.

It depicts a world of wonder and nostalgia, where the team dared not talk to one other, but instead insert their own interpretations while moving back and forth between reality and fiction.
