from chie's journal

"Life is a journey and whenever we're on a journey, the views and faces change before our eyes.

We encounter places and people in fleeting moments.

It's as if the world never stops spinning on its axis.
And we can do nothing but look in from the side
like a museum exhibition separated from each other by thick glass.

I believe that in life, there are moments that can reach out past the invisible barrier.

Moments that have the power to break the glass and touch our souls all at once.

Photography is my way of attempting to break the glass."
