Maya AkashikaLet’s try!

There are many methods of expression. To me, photography is one tool for knowing all of the available options. For example, I may discover another useful tool for expression, such as sculpture, drawing, or body art, and make art accordingly.

My continued production of photographs is an experiment in which my family and friends become increasingly familiar with the medium. It is also a proposition to enrich photographic expression.
