Tokyo Insomnia is an essay on solitude in Tokyo. I am constantly swallowed by a flood of lights, people, and unknown sounds. I photograph the solitude of thousands of anonymous people whose codes I don't know, mirroring my own. Lost in translation... In the subway that winds through Tokyo Bay, I see this mysterious woman with a lost gaze; time seems to have stopped.
