Amid the serene landscape, a less idyllic scene unfolds: a small group of turkey vultures, majestic yet ghastly, huddle over the remains of a seal. Their bald red heads, which often inspire unease, are evolutionary adaptations designed for their grim task.
For me, creating conceptual imagery is a process that begins with introspection and evolves into a visual language that others can interpret and complete in their unique ways. By infusing my work with elements of mysticism and ambiguity, I leave space for viewers to explore the unknown and construct their narratives.
While not every photograph is a literal self-portrait, all photographs carry traces of the creator's identity. The choices in the creative process, the relationship with the subject, and the intent behind the image all contribute to making a photograph a reflection of the photographer's self. In this way, every photograph can be seen as a fragment of a larger, ongoing self-portrait, capturing not just the external world but the internal world of the creator.
Update: Nominated in the 10th edition of Fine Art Photography Awards. The Psychology of Trees body of work by Eduardo Fujii explores the restorative power of trees in a heartfelt tribute to these incredible living organisms that we take for granted and fail to notice in the course of our busy lives.
