“TORICO”
At the entrance hall of drunkenness, I met you. An after-image and memo of 10 numbers were left behind. I forgot them all. In the confines of drunkenness, I saw you. You were sleeping with a smile in a cage. I faintly recalled. I tuned the numbers and met with you. I want to know what you’re made of. I don’t know, but 80% of me is love. I had a sudden impulse to photograph her. For two days, I was in a stupor. Up to now, I had experimented only commercially, and this is my first specimen (work) created based on my senses.If you won’t smile except in the forest of sleeping dreams, I shall own that forest. I’ll own it, shut it into a cage, and watch the wandering and transformation.
This work is wandering, expressing imperfections and transforming. Lastly, I express my deep gratitude to the New Cosmos of Photography for continuing to provide a venue for almost limitless experiments.

A photo of being held in custody in a crackdown on indecency, just kidding. I wonder if he’s confining my beloved princess so she won’t run away. But with that hemp string, she’ll escape easily (laughs). don’t really get it, but it’s strangely erotic. The tone of the photo inside and the overall indecency level wins first prize. It would’ve been even better if there was some playfulness or wit.
