Dancers in movement, blood vessels, neurons - trees have a transcendent beauty and connections to both primordial and modern shapes. This series tries to highlight such connections, in the hope that the inherent grace of the models will remind us to pause, notice and preserve the eternal poems in our surroundings.

Amateur photographer based in Tokyo, using artistic photography to explore universal patterns in nature. Visualizing structures and forms that transcend species, time and physical reality helps me interrogate transiency and permanence, frailness and robustness, and find fundamental beauty in everyday life.
