“COVID-19 brought us a drastic change to our everyday life. It seems like a parallel world you see on the other side of a mirror.”

 

Koji Ueda, AMBIENT, 2020

 

Chaotic information becomes an ambient noise.

Virtual insanity was what we were living in.

Actual insanity is what we are living in.

As time goes by, I’m aware of the facts surrounding me.

Places to be, time to spend, what to wear, distance to keep, people to see, and so on.

I’ve been capturing those moments without any thoughts or feelings to reflect what they are now.
