{"product_id":"hojo","title":"HOJO","description":"\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003eBorn into a family with deep, generational roots in photography, Mayumi Suzuki creates work that reflects a profound connection to the medium. Her practice is guided by the core belief and knowledge that photography serves as a powerful tool for individual and societal expression and liberation. Following her deeply personal and poignant previous work, \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"355\"\u003eThe Restoration Will\u003c\/i\u003e, which explored her own family in the aftermath of the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, her latest series continues to confront her own life with unwavering honesty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003eWhile her new series, \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"22\"\u003eHOJO\u003c\/i\u003e, shares a similarly intimate nature, its direction takes a different turn. Narrowing the distance between herself and the viewer, she uses the photographic medium to weave a personal narrative inspired by her own body and life experiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003eSuzuki began working on \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"12\" data-index-in-node=\"24\"\u003eHOJO\u003c\/i\u003e in 2020, just after making the decision to stop her fertility treatments. During this pivotal moment, she noticed irregular, left-over vegetables at the market—such as two-legged carrots and uniquely shaped radishes—and felt a deep resonance with their forms. Through this series, which incorporates photographs of these vegetables, self-portraits, sonograms, and other archival images, Suzuki crystallizes her experience into art. It is a journey into the complex, inherent possibilities of the female body, inviting viewers to vividly retrace her path.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"T\u0026M Project","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52624675995937,"sku":null,"price":27.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/0218\/1921\/files\/1_e7a7d1cd-14db-4207-830c-bb421e89e0c4.jpg?v=1778814135","url":"https:\/\/btob.bookandsons.com\/products\/hojo","provider":"BOOK AND SONS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
