Everything is a play of light. I love exploring the duality of the yin and yang nature.

For this project, I want people to see my work and think beyond the obvious and observe more closely the world around them. That even in the light, there is darkness; and even in darkness, there is light. This project series was made in Osaka, Japan; using my RICOH GR.
