Anxious
The silence is so deep, it forbids you from staring back. That gaze seems to ask—"Are you truly here?" The sea is not merely a space; it bears the weight of existence beyond the limits of perception. It is not the absence of emotion, but the far side of it.
About Artist
Kaisyakuji Yushi
Yushi Kaisyakuji is a Japanese photographer and pediatric surgeon whose work bridges the clinical precision of science with the expressive depth of visual art. Specializing in high-quality partially desaturated photography, he explores the delicate tension between color and absence, often using animals and natural subjects as metaphors for solitude, survival, and silent emotion. His photographic style is defined by dramatic lighting, sharp contrasts, and a cinematic sense of composition. Many of his works evoke philosophical reflections—posing questions through gaze, gesture, or emptiness. Whether capturing the haunting stillness in a cheetah’s eye or the ephemeral bloom of a single flower, each image invites viewers to confront the beauty and fragility of life.
