The work “Portrait photography and an ascetic life” explores the history of our humanity and the depth of each individual life. When you look at each of the countless portraits that exist in the world, you can feel the weight of the history of humanity spanning generations. The men and women depicted in this work have families, jobs, raised children, and walked through life with friends. Their lives are full of joy and success, as well as hardships with ups and downs. However, many people face those difficulties ascetically and live strong. I believe that their appearance, sometimes harsh and sometimes beautiful, will deeply move us. This work aims to express the beauty and strength in human history through the struggles of individuals. Through the countless stories told by portraits, we can learn about the strength and fragility of human beings, and the rich lives that are woven together by both.

「肖像写真と禁欲的な生涯」という作品は、私たち人間の歴史と個々の人生の深さを探求するものです。世の中に存在する無数の肖像写真を一つ一つ見つめると、そこにはそれぞれの人生の物語が滲み出ており、何世代にもわたる人類の歴史の重みを感じることができます。この作品に描かれた男性や女性たちは、家庭を持ち、仕事を持ち、子孫を育て、友人と共に人生を歩んできました。彼らの人生は、喜びや成功だけでなく、山あり谷ありの苦難に満ちています。しかし、多くの人々は禁欲的にその困難に立ち向かい、力強く生き抜いていく姿を見せます。その姿は、時に厳しく、時に美しく、私たちに深い感動を与えると思います。この作品は、個々の奮闘の姿を通じて、人間の歴史における美しさと力強さを表現することを目的としています。肖像写真が語る無数の物語を通じて、私たちは人間の持つ強さと脆さ、そしてその両方が織りなす豊かな人生を知ることが出来ます。
