Story

After traveling across tens of thousands of light-years, that starlight would finally come to rest in my darkroom—fixed onto silver gelatin paper, turned into a tangible piece of the universe. The thought of it felt impossibly romantic.

So, I drove to Fukushima. About four hours from Tokyo, a place where the Milky Way shines undisturbed. No streetlights, nothing. Just darkness.
The spot I chose was a ghost town—abandoned in the wake of the 2011 tsunami.

Standing there, surrounded by ruins, an indescribable fear crept over me. In front of me, a sign marked the height of the waves that had swallowed this town. If another tsunami were to hit now, I would disappear without a trace—swept into the sea, with no one left to remember I was here.
