The photo series -Sane (–さんへ) consists of reprinted digital-analog photographs on laid paper embossed with Japanese alphabet characters. The embossed letters convey a message of friendship that transcends age differences, nationality, and language. Memories can be recalled through stimuli such as a change of season, the scent carried by a breeze, or the sound of waves. Even in Vienna, such stimuli exist, allowing the artist to indulge in reminiscences of Japan. The photographs evoke remembrance while simultaneously anticipating the steadfastness of Tokyo in 2009. However, after ten years, everything began to change—friends, villages, homes, and shops—and the passage of time turned into sorrow and unfamiliarity. This photo series evokes memories of the diaspora through the use of an official letterhead form that was returned to the sender due to an unknown address.
