A series documenting the final days of the small cattle barn my parents ran for 40 years. I grew up watching my parents work tirelessly for 40 years. I have continued to respect their sincere attitude toward their cattle and profession, and I have expressed my gratitude in these photographs.

After gaining 20 years of practical experience as a photographer, I once again believe that photography has the power to influence and impact the world around us. In our society, the strong survive and the weak are discriminated against and eliminated but a wide variety of people coexist in this world and we should aim to create a society where everyone can live comfortably. I want to use the power of photography, which has an instantaneous visual impact, to create a society where people who are considered minorities can live comfortably.
