Yamamoto Masao / No hurry, no stop...

"(...) Life is an accumulation of moments, and if you can accomplish a sense of minimalism, deciding just what to leave in and leave out, you can achieve a completeness in your work. (...)

(...) Although we seem to be connected continually between the generations, there is a rupture between the present, past and future. I hope the KAWA=Flow series will awaken a sense of relaxation and purification in th viewer's mind; we should not hurry, but not stop. (...)"
