Piece Eye Ohashi

¥3,750
Ever since the death of someone close to her, the Japanese photographer Eye Ohashi has been continuing her work of looking at life from the perspective of death, and death from the perspective of life. Her work includes the images of the remains of Gunkanjima, which still bears the shadow of its former prosperity becoming a ruin without ever being demolished. It also is a location with incredibly beautiful surroundings showcasing everyday life that is silently and violently divided by time. The world reflected through Ohashi's eyes solemnly reveals the cruel nature of life at times, gently speaking of the presence of death that can be called "nothingness". The shutter clicks as if searching for the lost pieces. The resulting photographs are not death in the game of life, but the existence of death that is naturally present. And as time passes, and as emotions towards the deceased change, the photographs are also sublimated into a universal world, gently and quietly providing fragments of memories. After experiencing the earthquake, life and death have become more familiar to us. This work, which Ohashi says she wanted to "share with the world," could be said to be the story of each viewer.
