Art is technique: a means by which to materialize the invisible realm of the mind.

I try to never be satisfied; this way I will always be challenging my spirit.

To me photography functions as a fossilization of time.

The 1,000 Buddha, to me, is almost like a contemporary art piece.

I don't know how many serious Christians exist here in America, but the Japanese, the younger generation is leaving the Buddhist religion mentality behind.

All over the planet, nature is being transformed into 'un-nature' at breakneck speed...My life is part of natural history. I long to know where that history came from and where it is going.

My concept was, within the five-minute video, for people to see one million Buddhas. So I made a group of the images and it keeps accelerating to reach this one million point. The movie was invented from the still photos.
