In the SNS era of fast-consumed images, what makes a photo endure? My work rejects flattery and seduction for honest photographer-subject encounters. No appealing poses—just raw presence, with the model withholding nothing in shared space. Sexual allure distracts; true vulnerability engages, bodies revealing unspoken truths. "Blueprint of Thought" uses nude silhouettes to map the soul: flowing hair, breath on fabric, averted eyes—depicting real connections beyond likes. These photos last by provoking reflection: in endless scrolls, what remains after stripping performance?

Yu Kajima, Tokyo photographer, probes human connections through portraiture and elements. 25 years in optics led to photography via workshops, inspired by transient meetings. Her work defies consumer norms, asking 'What lasts?' in 'Blueprint of Thought' (nude silhouettes as blueprints) and 'Element Water' (renewal via river cleanups). ARTportlk 2023 showcased water FRP sculptures fusing photo and material. Grounded in real experiences, MY images foster reflection—absence exposing truth. 'Even if it doesn't reach,' I connects body, mind, nature.
