AZY、LEIYA、SAEKA SHIMADA『ANIMISM』

Let’s say that every worldly thing possesses a soul, how would you then converse with the Earth? In present times, we often treat nature as a mere tool for humanity; we hardly credit the natural world for its spiritual value. If we were to perceive all spirits to be in every way, the same as that of humans’, perhaps we might see things in a different light. In the spring of 2022, three fated souls encounter each other to lead a dialogue with Earth. Photographs featuring figures that resemble newborns, spelled-out words that connect Heaven and Earth, vibrant and colorful illustrations. The world of animism brought to you by illustrator AZY, model/writer LEIYA, and photographer SAEKA SHIMADA.
