Item Description
"Shadows of Duty: An Exodus from Asakusa"
13” X 19” printed on Epson Pro metallic paper
20.5” X 26.75” with teakwood frame charred in the Japanese Shou Sugi Ban method.
In the monochrome streets of Asakusa, this photograph captures Japanese Salarymen in a moment that unveils the dual nature of their existence. Beneath the facade of their routine after-work stroll lies a silent narrative of obligation and tradition, casting light on the stark realities of a relentless corporate culture. This black and white depiction emphasizes the personal sacrifices often made, overshadowing the quest for individual fulfillment and the uncovering of deeper truths. Encased in a teakwood frame charred by fire in the Japanese Shou Sugi Ban method.
Item Special Note
I'm a photographer, technologist and an entrepreneur living in Singapore & Costa Rica.
My curiosity is in exploring human connections through photography, technology, and entrepreneurship. As a photographer, I capture everyday moments of people's lives to evoke feelings of nostalgia. As a technologist, I have extensive experience building and growing social platforms globally, having worked at the earliest days of eBay, Facebook, and Instagram. Most recently, I co-founded People & Company and wrote the Amazon bestseller "Get Together." My expertise in community building was recognized by Substack, which acquired People & Company in 2021.
Today, I run FABLE, a narrative building studio which exists to help leaders & their organizations gather their people through stories.
I love collaborating with others: with Bailey, we made a film about Dado Banatao; with Daria, we gathered three artists for a Grand Journey; with Loop Studio, we designed a house in the jungle; with Hotel Eden, we photographed Andrea.
To learn more about me, here is a recent interview by the Rake Magazine's editor, Yuko Fujita.
