Coastal Plains, Hokkaido Island, Japan
The coastal plains of east, southeast Hokkaido with its land clearing operation, where terrain was once forested, now the land is being used for agricultural purposes.
Climate change and pollution have become a global issue, and this series is my personal crusade in bringing awareness to it. I wanted to use my photographs to voice my deep sense of concern for the next generation. As a father I strongly believed that I had a moral duty to take action and as an artist I wanted to be a humble catalyst. I superimposed portraits of children from around the world over images of the earth and merged their innocent faces into these perilous landscapes.
