Description

一期一会 translates to "One time, one meeting"; but in Japanese ZEN Buddhism it's interpreted as "For this time only". This refers to the practice of treasuring the unrepeatable nature of a moment. By achieving this practice, the moment remains sealed in our memories since not the future nor the past can change it. I use reflections to create a juxtaposition that blends two worlds recontextualizing the entire scene. The lights on both sides of the glass create a grid that frames the subject in a world where she appears to be surrounded by others; but thanks to the strong contrast in color temperature between her and the remaining elements there’s a hint about an explicit separation, suggesting an introspective journey.
