Okabe Momo: from the series Ilmatar, 2020
‘As my photography is based on shishōsetsu, the Japanese I-novel, it is always made up out of my own, actual, experiences.’ says Momo. ‘I don’t decide in advance what I am going to photograph. And while I work from my private life, I hope that my work shares its power with many other people – and that it continues to positively resonate within them as part of their lives, too’
