Chapter6: Presence and Message / Edge of Life
"Existence and Message" was built while reducing psychological skills after returning to the photographer, and "Edge of Life" derived from it. While specializing in portraying the energy of living and the very existence of human beings, the subject is people with terminal cancer and those who are living their lives in their own way. A portrait where you can interact with yourself ... The answer you want may be in one of them.
