In this series, the photographer walked through forests in various locations and combined the camera's multiple exposure and slow shutter functions. The brightness of the data from multiple shots was compared for each pixel, and the brightest data was collected and combined to create the resulting image. It is the result of a straightforward comparison of multiple subjects, neither superior nor inferior, and is a landscape that can only be memorized by the camera's eye. Currently, I am photographing in various human-controlled mountains and forests all over Japan, which are generally called "nature. However, in the sense that they are under human control, they are also "artificial" in the sense that they are synonymous with nature. This image may also be considered "artificial" in the sense that it is synthesized and recorded by a camera, but it is also "natural" by the definition of the word "nature" in the sense that all things on earth are natural. However, in the definition of the word "nature," everything on earth is "natural. The sunlight, the silhouettes of the trees, and the light clearly recorded in the image are evidence that it is much more than human memory. We think we are seeing, but we are not. To see what we do not see, we need to see and record not only with our own eyes, but also with another set of eyes, the camera.
