Awareness of Between-ness: A Day After My Father’s Departure – Self-Portrait in His Room on His Chair, 2025 phototransfer on silk with small amount of violet acrylic layer 59 x 42 x 1 cmI am a Sydney-based Japanese-Australian artist exploring "Between-ness" – the unseen, reciprocal space between subject, camera, and artist. This self-portrait, taken the day after my father passed, reflects on memory, grief, and impermanence. Transferred onto silk using a phototransfer technique, the image will gradually fade, mirroring how memory dissolves with time and evoking the quiet passage between presence and absence.
