Crimson Reverie

A woman in kimono floats among a field of crimson wagasa umbrellas while holding a traditional Japanese parasol. The presence of a broom introduces a subtle Western witch motif, blending cultures and folklore. The scene becomes a quiet dream where color, tradition, and imagination coexist.

About Artist

Tomohiko Funai

I am a self-portrait, non-photoshopped levitation photographer. I was influenced by a contemporary artist, Natsumi Hayashi, and her "Today's Levitation" series in 2011. Under a concept named "Zero Gravity", I create the world of zero gravity and the life of the "levitator", who have been freed from the force of the gravity, through self-portrait photography. I have been awarded by over 70 photography competitions held in and out of Japan, and were featured in various media such as national televisions, radio, YouTube, magazines, and online articles.
