In 2019, Ryo Inoue left his 20-year career as an automotive mechanic to pursue a career as a photographer. His journey began when he started taking pictures with his partner's camera. This experience, along with the changes in himself and those around him, led to a shift in his approach to photography. He is now launching a crowdfunding project to realize his strong desire to create a photobook, a project he has nurtured for the past four years.


Having become independent in his 40s to fulfill his final dream, he has steadily built his career, experiencing personal struggles, the death of a loved one, and the emotions of his family. Though only four years in his life, these experiences are comparable to the previous 40 years. Forty years spent giving up on dreams, and four years pursuing them. He wants to present his current self in a photobook. This solo exhibition marks the beginning of that project.
