My series, LOST NAME is about the deprivation of "personal names" as ephemeral symbols. The series uses a Split Diopter to obscure the image of person whom we won’t actually see. The SNS where anonymity is easily associated with violence against real names, and the "POWER" to take away individual names in an instant by considering people as a nameless collective,etc.They can all be interpreted in the context of the ephemeral nature of individual names.In this series, I have expressed the anxiety I feel through photography.

Born in Japan. I am a Madrid based amateur but everyday photographer specializing in street photography. Bachelor degree in Science of Design(Musashino Art University) and Doctoral graduated in Art History (Nagoya University) .
