Long ago, I saw a picture of a foreign girl, and I felt as if a person who didn't exist until then jumped into me through the picture, and, although dim, a silhouette began to appear. I could never forget that feeling. To put it boldly, I want to meet people and places that still don't exist and document them through photography. Driven by this impulse, I set out on a journey.
