MIZUTANI, Yoshinori - Sakura / AS NEW COPY

Statement by the photographer, Yoshinori Mizutani

“Cherry blossoms are so beautiful that I don’t think I’ve spent as much time looking at anything else. Facing a sakura tree my eyes shift from one petal to another from one flower to another until the whole picture is grasped.
In ‘SAKURA’ I attempt to visualize the move of my observing eyes and crystallize the visual experience of meditating and wandering upon the blooming tree. As a result the images show that photography captures not only a specific moment but also the passing of  time.” (© Yoshinori MIZUTANI)
