Hara’s work reveals the profound in the mundane:
Flowers on the local roadside, the nearest train, light piercing the dining table. A snowy day. And family.
Scenes that seem ordinary are anything but. These are the things we yearn to protect—even before confronting society’s larger problems.
Excerpt from the book:
"Soon, he began picking them up during walks in our neighborhood park. Broken branches that would never sprout again were left standing, one after another. When I asked my husband why, he said he’d tell me one day."
About Mēdeia2.0
The next phase of the project, Mēdeia2.0, shifts focus to the "margins" of thought and emotion, rather than directly conveying truth.
Mēdeia1.0 used fashion as a medium to highlight global events and social issues through the lenses of photographers in Japan and abroad.
This 0th issue of Mēdeia2.0 draws us into the intimate world captured by Mikiko Hara—quiet, personal moments that often go unnoticed.
