Nakazora
A meditative collection of fifty-four small-scale gelatin silver prints, Nakazora embodies Masao Yamamoto's signature aesthetic of quiet impermanence, where each image feels worn, weathered, and intimate. Some prints are further transformed through applied ink, adding layers of mark-making that blur the boundary between photography and drawing. Together, the works evoke a suspended, in-between state — nakazora meaning "mid-sky" or "absent-minded" in Japanese — inviting viewers into a contemplative space between the seen and the felt.
