A prequel to “Gloaming - haze -”. It depicts the story of the girl from haze, back when she was still wearing a mask, and follows her up until the moment she removes it. The home environment is also a closed-off one, and the work suggests that the same kinds of circumstances depicted in haze exist there as well.

Filmed and produced the web movie “Todokeru” for Tohoku Electric Power Co., Inc. More than 10 years after the Great East Japan Earthquake, this work expresses a desire to carry those memories forward into the future without letting them fade.

As part of a tie-up project with Swedish lighting company Profoto, we shot and produced branding visuals and a making-of film to celebrate the 5th anniversary of our leather bag brand, “ke shi ki.” Using the paintings of Denmark’s leading artist Vilhelm Hammershøi as our source of inspiration, we expressed the brand’s cherished idea of “a quiet presence that blends into the landscape” through the world of Hammershøi’s indoor still-life paintings. In addition, through a story of interaction between a girl and a woman, we conveyed the message that we want this to be a brand that is passed down across generations. The story behind each shot has been released on the official Instagram account of “ke shi ki.” On Profoto’s official website, this shoot report has also been published in two parts under the title “bird and insect’s visual branding on the still and motion set.” more (bird and insect WORKS) https://bird-and-insect.com/works/2509/
