Description:
"Smile~" Whenever we take a picture of another person, there is often an urge to call for a smile. This habit made me struggle to capture a believable expression of joy from my subject. After cracking a joke, however, I was able to find this moment. During everyday life, we don masks of what we believe others want to see from us; where we feel a pressure to maintain pseudo expressions that miss the truth of the soul. How much of our spirit is comforted by synthetic exhibitions of bliss? Contemporary society hasn't ever been more connected, but it's the person, the individual, who feels the most lonely. We mustn't forget the vitality of emotional honesty.
