KAIKOU(邂逅)—meaning “encounter” in Japanese—is a tactile extension of the series, bringing together photographic images and chemigrams to trace a quiet, introspective journey through memory, identity, and the search for home. Crafted with Japanese washi paper and bound by hand, it weaves elements of my heritage into an intimate, contemplative object.
