In my view, intimacy is one of the most significant virtues in today's world . Advanced technologies, such as the Internet , are causing individualization and fragmentation of contemporary society. In this context, intimacy-loving ourselves, each other, and eventually society-can restore a sense of social cohesion and reunite us. I believe photojournalism is the key to achieving intimacy, since iconic photos such as " V-J Day in Times Square " by Alfred Eisenstaedt evoke a sensational effect, delivering those kinds of emotions. On a broader level, conveying emotions through photojournalism can ignite individual feelings and foster empathy, the basis of intimacy. I aspire to pursue work that documents human lives with emotional precision and ethical seriousness-work that not only records reality but also reconnects people to one another through recognition, compassion, and shared feelings .
