This is assumed to be printed on 16x32” paper, and appreciated from a distance of 7 feet. When viewing the smaller size digital version, I hope viewers to take more distance than usual. By doing so, viewers will touch the intention of the author. This is taken by ICM means Intentional Camera Movement as literally. I used the 4x5” film camera, and chose the focus as ICM to take this. I exposed one film for 1/4 of exposure time in focus, and for 3/4 of it out of focus. Although this is in-focus image and also out-focus image, the impression of the overlapped image cannot be explained by either.

I had studied mathematics in the graduate school, and I am working on abstract art. My main theme is the logic of Ku which is the attempt to explain the world and human being existence in Buddhist thought.
