 Toshiaki Kitaoka Photo Collection "Equally, beautiful" (back cover)
Toshiaki Kitaoka Photo Collection "Equally, beautiful" (back cover)"Equally, beautiful" is a collection of works capturing the flowers and plants that Kitaoka began photographing after discovering a Leica camera.
For this work, the artist used a macro lens camera, which is able to magnify small worlds and capture them clearly, to create a blurred, blurred, and out-of-focus image, then added the rippling water surface and layers of acrylic, creating a unique filter through which to create the piece.



What we see there is the strong, fleeting, and imperfect beauty of nature. The photographs of flowers with blurred outlines allow us to imagine what is visible, what is invisible, and what lies in between.

This spring, we've spent a lot of time at home, staying at home. Why not immerse yourself in a world of sweet colors in this book?
