Artist’s Statement:
The streets of Japan are full of vibrant scenes of organized chaos. In a country where space is at an ultra-premium, the use and storage of vehicles is a carefully thought out and deliberate action. My triptychs are an attempt to capture some of the creativity that has gone into the problem-solving of Japanese wheels owners. The choice of vertical panoramic highlights the formal constriction of the space while creating new juxtapositions and relationships across varied street scenes.
