MURATA KEI
All I Can See
Many black kites (tobi) soar above Sarushima. I usually perceive them as part of the landscape, but now and then they swoop down and appear right in front of me—breaking away, even if just for a moment, from the scenery I’m observing.
In All I Can See, I explore how these birds shift between scales—near and far—by allowing blurred or unclear images to pass across snapshots taken in Yokosuka.
This work attempts to reflect that fleeting, unstable perception.
