"I’ve lived my life asking myself 'What am I? What is this world?'
For a long time, I wandered without answers, and before I knew it I was older.
Had time flown by, or was it all a dream resembling a memory?
This story transcends time and meaning and self by staring down the idea of 'myself.'" (Masako TOMIYA)
"Masako TOMIYA is a female photographer originally from the region of Aomori, north Japan. She has lived in Tokyo for years.
One day, she received news that her sister and sister-in-law, who live near her hometown, were both pregnant. This news inspired TOMIYA’s series Kito, a reflection on identity, family, transmission and the passing of time.
'Kito' means 'homeward' in Japanese. Inverted, 'toki' takes on a completely different meaning: 'time'.
In her poetic series, TOMIYA plays with this dual sense. Her reflective photographic journey is undertaken with a subtle meditation on nature, and its seasonal transformation, alongside a representation of human life through women. TOMIYA stages self-portraits and captures the daily lives of her mother, sisters and new-borns, to explore how her sense of home has altered with time." (publisher's note)
