Book Description: The Persimmon’s Fruit is an intimate photographic essay, depicting the author’s journey to Japan, it seeks the new sensibilities and subtler connections unfolding when imagery and poetry loop together in a book format. The book is an assemblage of the subjective observations about the essence of Japanese culture, altogether creating a poetic story that enfolds both the stillness of a photographic image and the transitory, time-wrapping, nature of cinema. Rather than attempting to arrive at something descriptive and concrete, The Persimmon’s Fruit is instead trailing the elusive atmosphere, accentuating the beauty in imperfections and incompleteness, through light and shadow, contours and fragments, whispers and feelings.
Book Soundtrack: David Bowie ‘Moss Garden’
