Tokyo is a city that is constantly being destroyed, built, and destroyed again. This cycle reminds me of rapid cell division, and how it brings about repeated changes in form. Tokyo, as it transforms completely every half-century, seems to have given up on having any memories. When the scenery that once existed is gone, I lose connection to the memories and feelings that I previously had there. As those forgotten memories fall to pieces, they sink below the level of my consciousness and all becomes a blur. Eventually, I even forget what I was trying to remember. Through photography, I salvage fragments of those landscapes that are hidden at the bottom of my mind.
