Interested in the pattern structures that commonly occur in invisible systems, he began his photographic expression after working in psychology, infectious disease control, finance and IT. He regards the contemporary media environment as a 'cave wall' and photography as the idol that appears on it, and examines its function as a 'support for a sense of reality' and its impact on human society. He regards the contemporary media environment as a 'cave wall' and photography as the idol that appears on it, and examines its function as a 'support for a sense of reality' and its impact on human society.

His interest in the pattern structures common to invisible systems led him to photography after working in psychology, infectious disease control, finance, and information technology. He views the contemporary media environment as a "cave wall" and photography as the idol that appears on it, and examines its function as a support for a sense of reality and the impact of technology on the way humans "see" things. His approach crosses the boundaries between news photography, documentary, and "generated photography" by artificial intelligence.
