Residence Plan
During my time at AIR 3331, I will move through Tokyo's neon-lit streets, alleys, and bustling night markets after dark, capturing fleeting, unposed moments. I work intuitively, following the city's rhythm and allowing the energy of its nights to unfold without interruption. I will also experiment with short prose and poetic texts, producing a series of photographs and writings that convey Tokyo's nocturnal essence through my eyes.
