Snowdome (2013 - present)

Hokkaido, the northernmost island of Japan, where constant snowfall blankets a densely populated, modern society. This project began in 2013, when, over the course of thirty days, thirty feet of snow buried the cities and landscapes. The endless snow creates a foreign and imaginative landscape, putting the mind into a nearly euphoric state. However, this mental state is quickly disrupted by the daily responsibilities of snow removal. This serves as a constant reminder of the space between natural order and modern demands—a gap filled with superstition, daily rituals, and a lingering sense of impermanence.
