HIDEYUKI TAKAHASHI

Captured on a notorious bridge of finality, this image reflects a deep resolution born from a cruel contrast of life. While my father-in-law was critical, fighting to hold onto a life that was standing painfully still, I stood at a place where people choose to throw their lives away. To counter this absolute stagnation, I framed a tiny service vehicle—a relentless pulse of the everyday, moving toward the distant light. In this vast landscape of fog and sorrow, it stands as my personal vow to continue moving forward. But above all, this image carries a fierce, silent plea to the world: If you still have the strength to take another step, if you have a life that is still capable of moving forward—never, ever cut it short.
