These photographs reflect my enduring fascination with an ordinary Japanese boy — a longing I find myself unable to look away from. Weaving together elements of street, fashion, and portrait, the work traces a fragile beauty, an intimacy, and a yearning just out of reach, inhabiting a space somewhere between document and dream. I now understand that the fantasies we hold in our minds can dissolve with time — yet what is captured in a photograph feels as though it will remain, long after.
