“Skin of Existence” is a journey to find traces of a loved one who has passed away.
My beloved grandmother passed away in September 2022,
And since then,
I have constantly missed her and tried to find traces of her existence.

By capturing the indentations on the leather sofa that she loved to sit on,
Those wrinkles, like skin, have left marks with age and memory,
And the emotions and memories they present make me feel my grandmother's breath once again.

The work is printed on Japanese paper, and the texture of the paper gives the feeling of skin existing.
