This exhibition will be special for me. I have been suffering depression for one and half years and had extremely hard times. I got addiction to antianxiety drugs, sleeping pills, and alcohol and still not completely overcome with them. I have been thinking many things such as meanings of life and death, art, relationship, family, friends, etc.
Many people are helping and supporting me, and without them it is impossible to prepare this exhibition. And I realized that creation is the way to recover from desperation.
28 images were selected from my documentary work and street photography. My mother, Yuko Nagata, helped me to edit and make beautiful Sepia prints. Please come and see those works.
See you soon,
Thank you.

Works
Cabrini-Green: Frances Cabrini Rowhouses
Images at Cabrini-Green of Chicago from 2010-2014. Cabrini-Green was located north of downtown Chicago. The longest standing housing within Cabrini-Green, the Frances Cabrini Rowhouses, remained full with people who were born and raised the neighborhood. In an attempt to document the intimate moments of the lives of people, I spent four years inside this community.
Lights in Chicago, Lights in Paris
The feelings of people and their lives in the city wanted to be shown by photographic media.
Through my manipulations of light and shadow with off camera flash, subtle yet substantial moments were captured. The surreal abstraction of images allows for interaction of multidirectional story lines and overlapping of dialogues among me as a photographer, subjects, and viewers.
