“Japan has a long and rich tradition of reciprocal gift giving. I have been the grateful recipient of so much over so many years in Japan, and I know that I will never be able to give back in equal measure. I hope this work can be seen as a small token of my desire to do so. I also hope this work can be viewed as a homage to Japan and that it will serve to symbolize my immense ongoing appreciation and deep gratitude for this beautiful and mysterious country”

Through his masterful use of minimalism and long-exposure techniques, he conveys a sense of timelessness, creating ethereal scenes that transcend the immediate moment. Kussharo Lake, Study 6, invites viewers to immerse themselves in the quiet grace of Japan's natural wonders.
