My one year old daughter reached for the golden egg object. She held the golden egg in her hand and groaned for a minute or so, as if she was wishing for it. To my eyes, it was as if she was breathing life into the man-made golden egg. I photographed and expressed that moment. I want you to feel the warmth, softness, and strength of her tiny hands. And in contrast, the object is cold, heavy, and hard. I hope you enjoy the contrast of these incompatible textures. I felt that something unprecedented could be created at the boundary of these textures.

I am a father of two children while interacting with children as a pediatric surgeon in Japan. In the process, I discovered and immersed myself in the wonderful expressive medium of photography. I am mainly passionate about expressing emotions through children and the interweaving of emotions in animals. In my profession, I often have the opportunity to think about what children are feeling and thinking. I sincerely hope to be able to capture the thoughts and feelings of a moment in their lives. I look forward to working with you.
