This work depicts both the transience and timelessness of spring in Japan. The cherry blossoms blooming along the river are enveloped in soft light and shine for an instant. Mount Fuji can be seen in the distance, shrouded in clouds but with a strong presence, giving the scene a sense of tranquility and majesty. By using a long exposure, I was able to softly depict the clouds and flowing water, creating a fantastical moment in which time seems to stand still. Through natural elements that symbolize Japan, I have recorded my own perspective on the "passage of time" and "natural beauty."
