I was people-watching in the corner of a café in the transit area of Shinjuku station, Tokyo. Stations are hubs of people, each moving towards their destination. All of these people are passengers, a moving stage with no ending in this still image, and all those who come on stage stop briefly, each with their uniqueness. The lines in my work are attempts to capture these fleeting sceneries, exploring the movements in time and space. The subjects of my observation repeatedly appear in the same space, leaving traces behind, their bodies softened by the movement, no longer stiff and rigid. These images are repeatedly produced through prints.
